Candidate-reported interview process

It was just 2 rounds. First HR, then Hiring manager. It wasn't too difficult. Then about a month after, HR gave me a verbal offer. The offer email came from HR the next day.

It was a full-day assessment at a physical location with many other candidates. During this assessment, your teamwork skills were evaluated. There were also speed interviews where you rotated through different tables, and each interviewer asked a single question that you had two minutes to answer.

Applied online and then got a logic quiz, followed immediately by a behavioural quiz. Then there was a face-to-face interview in groups. It was like a mini speed dating session where each interviewer asked one question. After that, we had a team project where we built a roller coaster together. Post-lunch, there was a one-on-one interview where they just went through my CV, with no technical questions.
