The entire process from applying to signing the offer took about 6 weeks. It involved an initial chat with HR, then a coding test with two parts: one about adding numbers from a string with delimiters, and another about writing some SQL joins. After that, there was a relaxed technical chat with the department head and a teammate, and finally, an interview with the head of HR.

Technical Behavioral
Interviewed by HR, then the Manager, and finally a team developer. The HR rep was pretty bad, making me wait and then ghosting me without any feedback even though the interviews went well. They're probably giving the job to someone with lower standards. Don't bother if you know your worth.
