They seem pretty efficient to me. I got the first round of interviews scheduled the same day I applied.
I'm used to being on the other side of the table, and in my experience, as long as you have strong relevant experience for what they need and put effort into the application, companies tend to move quite fast.
I also only apply to a few companies for positions that I find interesting and where I know I can bring value. My response rate has always been 90%+, even when I don’t know anybody there or have a referral.
Meanwhile, most people nowadays apply to anything with 'software' in the title and are surprised when they don’t hear back.
