Technical Coding Presentation

I had a work case that I had a few days to complete. Then they reviewed my assignment and we talked about it. After that, there was an HR interview, and they asked about my CV, university projects, and any exchange experience I had. Finally, there was a technical interview. The whole thing took about 2 months.
