Process
First, you have to apply online. If you are selected, you need to pass two online tests: one about short mathematical problems and one about numerical series.
The numerical series were by far more difficult than at other companies; the mathematical problems, however, were pretty easy.
The first interview was via Skype with the team manager and a software engineer. It was conducted in Spanish and English because I was applying to work in Madrid.
The second interview was a case study focused on programming skills.
