Chat with a recruiter then a CodeSignal 90 minute online test. After that a panel interview but I did not reach that far.

The CodeSignal test was disappointing as I was told you could look up things and it wouldn't be algorithms and data structures focussed. But unfortunately it was very focussed on something else, i.e. Spring and Spring MVC. Unfortunately I had not done Spring MVC for a while. I normally use JAX-RS but the coding platform only allowed Spring MVC so I had to basically look up all the relevant syntax.

Which I thought wasn't a very good way to judge my overall technical skills and also would ensure that people who had used Spring MVC recently would have a big advantage. And the questions were so vague (which is fine when are doing a coding exercise with an interviewer who you can ask questions but not great when you have no-one to ask for clarification).
