It’s a multi-stage interview with automated and virtual activities ranging from IQ tests to English tests, which is a bit strange in the age of AI. Then there’s a Take Home test followed by a technical interview. In the end, they told me I wasn’t the right fit because my stack didn’t fully meet the requirements. They should have screened that out before all these steps. If you want to go through this process, think carefully about it.

The interview process was very thorough. I felt like I was able to accurately show my skills and knowledge with the combination of online assessments and technical interviews.
I received no surprises during the process and it was all explained very well and directly via the careers page and recruiter.
The coding challenge was straight forward but also allowed a lot of flexibility in approach and discussion which I greatly appreciated. I felt it struck the right balance for being demonstrative of skills without requiring an overly cumbersome time investment from the interviewee.
