I applied in June for a role in Amsterdam. The process took about one month.

There was a round with the hiring manager.

Then, a one-hour technical screening, which included a bit of theory and a bit of coding. Nothing was overcomplicated.

The second screening was more about fit into the project.

After that, a final coding round was scheduled. In fact, there were two meetings: two and a half hours, then a one-hour break, and another thirty minutes.

I expected some LeetCode, some design, but they gave me a take-home style assignment, which I had to finish before the next call. I asked some questions, then the interviewer dropped off.

It wasn't complicated but rather large for such an amount of time. There was a vague part where a candidate is supposed to come up with something creative, but again, too little time for the task.

I had to present my code on the next call.

And their recruiter ghosted me. I pinged him after ten days and got "we expected more" and that was it.

LC easy-medium, a follow-up: Do the same but without extra memory.

Take-home assignment in live coding mode.
