The process began with a chat with the recruiter.

Next, there was an interview with the hiring manager. I don't quite remember the exact details, but the questions were about describing projects I had worked on, the tech stack, and so on.

After that, I was given a small project to complete at home. I had a week to finish it, but I believe that's the maximum time they give you.

When I submitted the project, I was contacted shortly after for a technical interview. This interview was with three engineers. In this interview, despite my initial impressions, there were very few questions about the small project I had completed. Instead, I was asked to explain the projects I had worked on in more technical detail. Then, I was given a design problem.

I thought I hadn't done too well on that, but, to my surprise, I was asked to interview with a director. This interview was not too long and was quite generic.

The last interview was with the whole team I would be joining. It looked a bit intimidating at first, but it turned out to be more relaxed than I had expected. It also gave me the opportunity to ask questions about the actual job I would be doing, the tech stack, and so on, which was great.
