Technical Coding
It was a tough technical interview on an unfamiliar website. There wasn't much direction given and it didn't seem like it related to the job I applied for. The recruiter didn't really explain what the technical test would cover.

Coding Technical
The interview process was pretty standard. It started with an online coding challenge which had three coding questions, plus some questions about production concepts and flow. Then there was a face-to-face interview, though I wish there had been more interaction during the technical part. Be aware that the HR team can be unprofessional and seem to take advantage of job seekers' situations. They gave a short deadline (two days) to accept the offer and wouldn't extend it. The offer itself was also lower than initially discussed.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- OA: three coding challenges using Python, not difficult.
- Interview: 1-2 coding exercises. Problems are at hard level, but it seems that you don't have to be bug free.
