I applied online and received an email inviting me for a conversation with HR in the UK. Our chat was brief and pleasant and she asked me to do an online aptitude/personality test before moving me on to speak with the hiring manager. I should've taken myself out of the process right then because I find those tests to be a waste of time and the kinds of companies that use them to be rather foolish. However, I obliged. Weeks later, in following up with the hiring manager I learned they chose to go with a candidate in NY despite the role being advertised as 100% remote. Alrighty then! I'm just grateful this was all done online/phone so they didn't waste even more of my time.
