The hiring process at HomeX takes an average of 56 days when considering 1 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Software Developer had the quickest hiring process (on average 56 days), whereas Software Developer roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 56 days).
I had a Zoom interview with the hiring manager which lasted 45 minutes. The interviewer had a fairly serious demeanor and it felt very professional but transactional. It lasted 45 minutes and there was nothing I recall that was much beyond boiler plate. To use a dating metaphor, we didn't have any chemistry.
Several coding assessments and some non-technical as well. Overall a good process. Thorough. Got to know people and understand the company better. Final stage took about half a day. This information may be out of date.

Interview
HR interview - general questions to determine if you fit in with the company culture. 2 questions, 15 mins each - Each question had a different interviewer and you were allowed to use the internet to help solve the problem, in their words "[they] want to test your ability to program, not your ability to remember random algorithms".
