First I got a phone interview, where I was asked a few background questions like previous experience. After this, I received an email for an on-site interview.

Interview
I was contacted from a recruiter through Linkedin. I reply with my updated resume and the times for a phone call. The recruiter call me back the same week and ask about general background and some JavaScript questions, maybe because I commented about wanted to work in UI. The call took about 30 min. Two days later I received an email with a code challenge. After I delivered the challenge, two days later I got an email about not moving forward in my interview process.
In general the recruiter was super helpful with all the questions that I had.
