The phone interview is about 10-15 minutes long, depending on how long your answers are. There were 3 questions asked, and each one gives you a 10-second pause before a beep signals it's recording. It was fast and easy.

The entire hiring process took about two months from when I applied. It included multiple stages. First, I had to complete some online tests. After passing those, I was asked to record and submit a video interview online. Then, I was invited for an in-person interview at the workplace, which was scheduled for three hours. This on-site part involved a group discussion, a one-on-one interview, and some practical assessments. Finally, after being successful in those, I underwent pre-employment checks and medical examinations.
