Interview steps are quite similar to once mentioned here. First is an online assessment, second a video interview (2 maths ques, 1 case study) and third is onsite.
Interviews are simple but they don't share the feedback so you will never know why you got rejected.

Pregunta 1
First round -
1. One SQL question (use joins),
2. second coding ques (if you toss a coin n number of times, determine a minimum number of flips required to make them all the same. For eg., if you toss 5 times and the result is 3 heads and 2 tails then min flips to make it all same is 2 (turn all tails to heads)
3. third is an analysis ques in excel file where you have to analyze ice cream sales

I could not complete all the steps due to unprofessional interview process management. Two different HRs contacted me. After I shared my availability for the next interview, they sent me 2 different emails which were not related to my interview process. I asked for clarification about the process and send me the correct slot, but I did not get an answer for 4 days. In the end, HR call me and said all of a sudden they decided to hold the hiring process for this position. I spent 2 days on the case study and this is really unprofessional. I had concerns about the company because of having a low rating on Glassdoor but now understood why people are complaining that much. 1- Codility Challenged -- passed 2- HR screening call -- passed 3- Hiring Manager -- passed 4- Case Study -- delivered but the position on hold
