Behavioral Technical Coding Case Group Presentation
So first you usually talk to a recruiter to see if you're a good fit. Then there are some technical tests like coding or case studies. After that, you might have some behavioral interviews to talk about your past experiences and soft skills. Sometimes there are panel interviews with a few people from the team. The last part is usually talking to senior people and then hopefully you get an offer.

Coding
Very difficult, hard to score well, the interview process was very smooth and enjoyable though. Definitely will need to prepare a lot of coding questions in advance. This is quite an experience.
