One receives the results along with tips for improvement after completing the test.

Two days later, an invitation arrived for the first interview with a recruiter from London (Hangouts). This was a pleasant, rather light conversation.

Two days later, an invitation followed for a F2F interview with the Hiring Manager in Berlin. I believe this conversation can proceed differently depending on the manager. Mine was very casual, pleasant, and gave me a good overview of the required profile.

The entire process was delayed. A rejection arrived 4 weeks after the in-person interview. Upon an interim inquiry, only brief feedback was received with a request for patience.
