Company reached out to me via a recruiter. Both the recruiter and the company itself made the process simple and painless. After initial meeting with a team lead, I was told the same day that they would like to move forward with me and within a week and a half I was hired. I was placed in a fantastic R&D engineering team and both salary and benefits were clearly explained by the (wonderful) HR department. The R&D hiring process is unique and focuses on a mixture of both technical/coding questions and mind-benders/logic questions (akin to the famous Google Hiring Questions). As a base, you should know what you say you know code-wise. You will be interviewed by a multitude of R&D engineers - and they know very quickly who can and cannot code or does not know their CS theory (algorithms, data structures, etc). The logic questions are not as important - they simply show what your thought process is. If you don't know the answer to the logic questions - they prefer that you at least try and then admit defeat than to just admit defeat without trying.

First you do a hand written test (word doc) with questions about java, java8 and spring. Afterwards you meet with the team leader. In my case it was Sharon, she questioned about my career and experience. I must say the interview is stressful enough but the team leader was very unprofessional and rude. I hope for her that as a team leader she knows better how to present and say things to her employees. With her attitude, I think it will take her a long time before she will find someone for her team.
