First interview, all remote. No interaction with people, so it can be very difficult because you can't ask for explanations and they can't follow your reasoning throughout the process. Codability and video interview. Response in 1 week.

Recruiter contacted me through LinkedIn and set up an interview. Initially, this was a contract position. After according performance, they will decide if it's permanent or not. After the interview, they will give the answer within two or three days.

No comment about the interview. I only had a coding test and an online video interview. Only one simple question was included in the coding test, but because I did not prepare that well, it failed.
