Candidate-reported interview process
It started with a coding test to check my Python skills, then a one-on-one technical interview where I was asked about the step-by-step process of my projects.
There were three parts to the interview: first, a take-home coding test that took about 2-3 hours. Then, a 30-minute phone interview. Lastly, a three-round panel interview with 7 people.
I had a coding test first, then a one-on-one interview with technical questions, followed by a three round interview where the last one had more behavioral questions. The whole thing moved pretty fast, only about a week between the personal interviews.
