I applied for this job online on August 13 and did not receive any feedback from the company. After 2 weeks, I emailed hr for further information and then was informed that they decided not to follow up on my application.

Recruiter would take a considerably long time to respond, making it extremely difficult to properly plan a follow-up interview time. Finally confirmed an in-person interview (which would require an international flight for me) THE DAY BEFORE the interview was scheduled, and only bothered to change the interview date after I pushed back.
Interview process itself is straightforward, but difficult. Two 80-minute interviews where each round has two new interviewers. A lot of whiteboarding problems.
The fact that they fly you out is nice, but the overall treatment and attitude to candidates proves they do not value your time.
