The interview contained many steps:

• Initial phone call with a recruiter Nothing unexpected; regular questions for this step.

• Cultural fit interview A free discussion to determine whether you fit with the company. No technical questions were asked, but there were a number of behavioral and motivational questions, e.g., how you would behave in certain situations, your goals, why you chose this company, and what you know about the company. To be honest, I'd never attended this sort of interview before, so I spent the evening preparing. There are many articles online. I also would recommend preparing some questions for the interviewer.

• Home task I was given a small console app for refactoring. It took no more than four hours (which matched the task recommendations). I was allowed to completely rewrite the app, and that was done because the app was terrible.

• Home task review A more or less technical part, when I discussed my solution with two other engineers. I was asked some technical questions about app design, data structures, and language parts I used.

• Interview with Engineering Manager I had a chance to learn more about the company, department structure, plans, and so on. I was also asked some behavioral questions.

• Onsite interview (yes, all the previous were online) I met the team, visited the office, and spoke with HR and the VP of Engineering.

Strictly speaking, I have very good impressions of the interview process. People are kind and polite; the company is nice too.

Regarding cons, I'd say the interview took too much time. I also think the company values soft skills more than technical skills (this is a controversial topic, but for me, it's a disadvantage).
