I applied through the company portal. There were 3 steps: first, 3 coding exercises on Codility (80mins), followed by a phone screen that included general and semi-technical questions in late November. In February, I was invited to the final round of interviews a month later. There were four 1:1 interviews, each 45mins with 15mins break, starting with ice-breakers and then a task in Codility. I had a confirmation one week after the interviews. There was some back and forth when it came to signing the contract, but, in the end, everything was non-negotiable, which I wasn't happy with. My manager-to-be contacted me 2 weeks prior and only then I learned what team I'm joining and what tech I'll use (X++).

TL;DR: long processing time, no indication of what the tech stack is.
