First the CV have to submit.
Then it will be reviewed.
Then they ask you for a written Interview.
Then there is a IQ test.
IQ test is somewhat harder. Need more practice and talents for that one. The test will measure how speed you can take decisions on simple tasks.
The IQ test is fair enough.
I'm not feeling that investment is a waste.
However it's good if they can provide some feedbacks. But in my case it's all about IQ most probably.

My application was refused without any explanation. One has to fill in a large form asking about even high school results and class ranking in mathematics and native language. Similarly about university results.

(4) "Early stage" interviews with a variety of employees, including your hiring lead.

(6) "Late stage" interviews.

What are the different locking mechanisms in the Linux kernel, and what are some advantages/disadvantages of each method?
Terrible, extremely inconsiderate of candidates' time. Included 3 interviews, IQ type test, extended questionnaire before getting declined with potentially more steps if I had continued. I would not recommend wasting your time.
