I applied directly to a recruiter. First, I had a 15-minutes phone conversation about this offer, preferred location, my skills etc. Two weeks later I had a skype technical interview. I had to describe my previous jobs, hardest challenges etc. Later I was given two small tasks to code using online editor. The engineer was very helpful and was trying to point me to the solution.

Very nice interviewer. Very casual. No BS intro and talking points. Actually, read the CV before the interview. The interview was as scheduled for 45 minutes. 2 questions, knowledge of javascript internals and DOM manipulation.
