Applied through their company site, I have to say this is probably the nicest recruiter that I met so far. The recruiter contacted me the day after and scheduled me for a phone interview, just to go over the typical projects past experiences. Couple hours after the phone interview, I was scheduled for an onsite interview right away again this recruiter works really fast!
As far as the onsite interview, it was pretty straight forward typical whiteboard algorithms and questions about past work experiences/challenges that I have faced. Overall I never felt pressured or anything.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at iHerb (Irvine, CA) in Nov 2018
Interview
I was contacted by one their recruiters over the Junior software developer position they were advertising for. He sounded very nice and we spoke twice on the phone. Based on the answers I gave he said that I could be a good fit this position and told me to wait for one of hiring managers to contact me. I never received any call from this company and one week later about Saturday midnight I received an Email explaining in two lines that after "careful" consideration of my application they have decided no to follow up with me. and that was it!
After 2 weeks I saw same Ad I applied for it again and another rejection Email came in to my inbox. and now I see it again!! Honestly I'm not sure what are they looking for now. I don't think finding a qualified Jr developer would be that difficult these days!!
