Candidate-reported interview process
I got contacted pretty fast for a phone interview. First, I had a chat with HR, and then about a week later, I spoke with the team lead I'd be reporting to. A week after that, I went in for an onsite interview where I met some of the team members I'd be collaborating with. They were all really responsive throughout the whole process.
I applied online and uploaded my resume, then I had to do a survey. After that, I had a quick phone call with a recruiter, and it all finished with an onsite interview with the Team Managers.
you get an email to schedule a phone interview, then after that phone interview you get an email with details about the company address and parking. Also you get a simple assignment to submit before the actual in office interview. After the office interview you might wait for a couple of weeks to get the offer or not
