I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GitHub
Interview
First met with Engineering Manager which was more behavioral and culture questions.
Then completed a coding exercise that I was given two hours to solve, but could start at any time. Followed all instructions and solved the coding exercise, wrote tests, and opened a PR with the detailed description of my solution, but still was rejected. So have no idea what they're looking for.
Maybe I just didn't solve the problem the way they wanted me to, but the instructions didn't detail any preferred method and I only did exactly what the instructions asked -- nothing much extra -- given the time constraints.
All I got was an automated email saying I was rejected with no reason given. The email was clearly generated from a template because the signature at the bottom of it literally said "Thanks, ENTER NAME AND TITLE HERE". :)

Why do you want to work at Github? What are your expectations of your ideal team?
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at GitHub (London, England) in Sep 2025
Interview
First stage recruiter call (45 minutes) which went well, both sides confirmed we'd like to progress to the next stage and the process was outlined. I was subsequently ghosted for 8 weeks, only getting a response when I emailed saying I'd withdrawn my application - to tell me that the team was being "rethought" and the job may not actually be available anymore but they'll let me know (they never did).
