Process
Firstly, there were two assessments.
The second looked a bit like an IQ test.
Then there was a behavioral interview, then another assessment online, then discussing that assessment on a Skype interview.
Questions
Battleship game, getting all the input beforehand. Not a very challenging exercise, in my opinion.
