Process
First, I had two phone interviews. Each asked several technical questions and we discussed my resume.
Then, I had an on-site interview. In a meeting room, five people came to the room one by one. The overall interview lasted over three hours, including a meal.
I cannot expose exact questions because of the contract. All I can say is that for the coding part, they were very easy and common string coding problems. Some general questions about my resume were also asked.
