It was a lot of people to talk to and the company's growth meant the job description wasn't totally clear, so I was looking for more definition. It was good to hear about the culture from HR and other team members, but I still wasn't sure what the job would actually entail after speaking with several people.

Had a phone call with the recruiting team to review my CV and get to know me, which wasn't longer than 20 minutes. Then, I had two face-to-face interviews with a colleague and the manager at their office.

Technical Presentation
The entire process was pretty thorough. It kicked off with a phone screening, then there were a bunch of online tests to complete from home, covering comprehensive, numerical, and logical skills. After that, I had one-on-one meetings with the hiring manager and a senior team member. The final step was a presentation covering two topics: one was a direct question, and the other was an analysis. This presentation was with the hiring manager, the senior team member, and a leadership member. Overall, the experience was really positive, and the team did a great job making me feel comfortable. However, the expectations for the presentation could have been clearer, though perhaps that was intentional to see how I'd interpret and approach it.

Coding
The entire interview process moved quite fast. Because I was interviewing for a smaller team, my on-site interview involved meeting with every single person on that team. The questions were mostly coding-related, and they were of moderate difficulty but still quite interesting.
