Applied for Dublin office. OA consisted of a Leetcode Easy + Medium/Hard Dynamic Programming q. Offered final round interview day after completion. 3x45 minute interviews.
Advice: Look out for edge cases, ask for what types of erroneous inputs you could expect. Interviewers will give you hints if needed, and usually know the optimal solution off by heart. Interview was easy by big 5 standards.

Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
10-15 mins behavioural assessment to check "cultural values", asked when I showed accountability, time-management skills and leadership. Then 30 mins codility assessments.
First interview was LC medium (Subdomain Visit Count), pseudocode was optimal but didn't compile due to syntax mixup
Second interview was LC easy (Roman Numeral to Num), but interviewer wanted optimal solution. Interviewer only wanted pseudocode
Third interview was Buy & Sell Stock 1,2 and 4 in 30 mins so very time-pressured. First two compiled, last had pseudocode.
Third interview also asked about a personal project, just high-level details but prepare what your biggest challenge was
The hiring process started with an online assessment that focused on problem-solving and coding skills.
After passing the assessment, I was invited to a series of 3 back-to-back technical interviews.
Each interview was primarily centered around data structures and algorithms, with questions similar in style and difficulty to LeetCode problems.
Interviewers also evaluated problem-solving approach, code quality, and the ability to explain thought processes clearly while coding.
Overall, the process was structured, technical, and heavily focused on algorithmic problem solving and communication skills.

The interview process begins with an online Codility assessment which includes two leetcode problems - easy/medium. After about a month I had three interview rounds of about 45 minutes each. About 15 minutes are spent for some behavioral questions about me, working in team, projects etc. The rest of the time is for leetcode problems, i would say medium. I got the interview results after a week, but it can take longer
2 45 min back to back with leetcode and behavioral questions. Wasn’t too bad just tagged will help and be prepared for resume grill. Review resume fully and should be ok
