The process started with a call from a recruiter. I was then given a puzzle exercise to complete on my free time. After that, I was given a logical reasoning test where you see a series of shapes and then guess the next in the sequence.

Eventually, I was invited to a pair-programming session. This wasn't really pair-programming but rather an exercise where you're given a puzzle to solve in front of a developer, followed by a discussion with an engineering manager.

Everyone was friendly, but the assessments were, in my opinion, very lazy and not good at measuring skills for the job. A logical reasoning test? Programming puzzles? Honestly, I'm glad I didn't get an offer.
