Process
I completed a Codility test with two reasonably easy questions (graph + DP).
Additional interviews with members of the team and the hiring manager followed. The technical interviews were of similar difficulty, and some behavioral questions were asked.
Overall, it was a good experience, and the interviewers were very courteous.
