Not the OP, but I did a phone screen a few years ago when the London office was opening. It was basically algo questions over the phone, with some coding using an online code editor. Standard stuff. I passed, and the next phase was flying to SF for whiteboarding sessions and meeting the CEO. I turned them down because I wasn't really keen on the forward deployed engineer idea - which is basically an on-site consultant/engineer, with lots of travel, sales, and hopping between places. Also wasn't so happy with the "salary cap" (not sure they still do it - but at the time, they said everyone was subject to a company wide salary cap).
A couple years later I ran into someone who worked at the London office. They described it to me as a chaotic environment, with poor engineering practices. In other words, a typical startup.
