After talking with the recruiter, the general process took about three weeks. However, this is more likely because I was in no hurry and stretched the stages out over time.

The whole interview process:

• A half-hour screening with a recruiter, which included a few simple technical questions.
• A technical assignment. It was quite simple but required a lot of boilerplate code, so it was worth planning 2-3 evenings for it.
• A two-hour technical interview. The assignment from the previous step was discussed, and all questions followed logically from it (databases, algorithms, data structures). You also needed to solve a relatively simple algorithm task.
• Another hour-long technical interview with almost the same questions as in the previous step.
• Further communication with the team where I wanted to go.

In general, the hiring process seemed rather pleasant to me. I especially liked that you can choose a team (I talked with two teams) and have conversations with the manager and future colleagues.
