Awful experience, applied through referral. Got a mail in a few days saying my skills are a match for the position. Recruiter wants to talk to me. Researched and studied about the company. Recruiter says they are not hiring for this position. Only locals to San Diego were considered. Could have said this in the mail itself. A 4-min chat with recruiter explaining to me the process and nothing else. Wasted few hours to get nothing out of them. Poor communication from their end.

There were two stages. The first stage was a phone interview and a 1 hour coding challenge with two problems to solve. Then the second stage was a white boarding challenge with also two coding challenges. During the session we also got to chat and get to know some of the other software engineers in the company. The second stage also included meeting with some of the higher ups where they basically talk about what it's like to work at lytx.
