Candidate-reported interview process

Had an interview with the team leads that was about 30 minutes long. They asked me to introduce myself, talk about what I want to emphasize on my resume, and asked some clarifying questions about that and about job expectations.

It was pretty long. First, you answer 3-4 recorded questions about yourself. Then, there's a coding question. After that, you do 3 game-based assessments. I think it was all done through HireVue.

I had a coding exam, a numerical exam, and a reasoning exam. Then there was an online interview where I had to give a presentation on a past technical project and answer some standard questions about my background. A UK SC was also needed.
