Process
After CV screening, there is one online test on coding skills and two pre-recorded video interviews. The online test is easy. The questions in the pre-recorded video interviews are given to you in advance.
Then, they arranged a Skype interview with two managers; one of them was from the IT team.
I am still waiting for the results of the Skype interview.
