No calls, just an email from the recruiter stating that they wanted me to take a coding challenge. The coding challenge was not timed. After the coding challenge, I was rejected without any indication of why. My "PSeudo App" was 100% functional, built using MVC patterns, and had re-usability. I met their challenge 100% and even exceeded it in some areas. I've passed coding challenges for fortune 100 companies, FANG companies, etc. The rejection is a bit beyond my understanding. I would have expected to at least get an interview, however, I digress.

Capture the Flag weed out process in the application itself. Found the four flags and got a take-home assessment. I did the take-home assessment (Recipe app) and was ultimately denied afterward with a boilerplate email. I know it was boilerplate because I had a friend apply for a completely different role, and they received the exact same email after their take-home (which was later in the interview process for them). This not only feels incredibly fake but doesn't inspire a lot of confidence that their team ACTUALLY looked through my code. My guess is they run the code through some AI engine, and it gives a thumbs up or thumbs down, which would be highly ironic considering they tell you not to use AI on your take-home. If you are thinking of applying to work here, don't waste your time with an interview process that is more rigorous than Apple for a company that clearly will only care about you as a number.
