Process
All are online tests and interviews.
The first part is an online programming test. You are required to finish a small program in 60 minutes. You can choose your favorite language, and the problem itself is pretty simple.
Then you are asked to take a video interview and answer 3 pre-recorded questions. You will receive e-mails about that, and the questions will be shown in your email. However, the email said you have 2 minutes for each problem, but in the recording system, you actually have 5 minutes for each question. All questions are simple HR questions, like "your technical background."
Still waiting for the next rounds of interviews.
