Step 1: Code test. Step 2: 2 rounds of interviews. Step 3: Offer letter. 1st interview: Tech problems. Not very hard. 2nd interview: Culture match. Learned a lot. HR is very good and positive, by the way.

Document screening -> online interview -> second interview -> third interview, which was pretty relaxed. They gave me an offer. I chose a different company after I tried to negotiate the salary. They could not bargain with my offer.

It took about 3 months from my initial application till I received an offer letter. I applied from Japan. Coding test at Codility and an interview with prerecorded questions, followed by 3 1-on-1 interviews over Skype. Interviews would always start
