Behavioral Technical Coding
I had an initial call with the hiring manager/recruiter and then chatted with the head/lead engineer. Things felt good in the first stages, pretty relaxed and comfortable chats, and they said I'd get a tech challenge. I had to chase them up to get the tech challenge sent over. Then, I had to chase them up a couple of times for feedback. When I finally got the feedback, it was pretty weak – seemed like they didn't really put much effort into it, mostly focused on code style instead of the actual implementation. Didn't move on to the next stage.

Technical Behavioral
I applied online, but it took about 3 months to get the first interview, which is ridiculously slow. The role is hybrid, but they want you in the office 3 days a week. Salary details were not disclosed, and they expected candidates to complete an unpaid technical test. It didn't seem like a very modern digital company, likely more suitable for people just starting their careers.

Behavioral Technical Coding Presentation
It was a pretty straightforward interview process, no real gotchas or tricky questions. The interviewers were all really nice, and the whole thing let me show off what I can do. First, I chatted with a tech manager who told me about the company and why they need software devs. It was a friendly conversation where they explained everything and I got to ask about the tech stack. After that, there was a take-home task. I usually have mixed feelings about these, but I actually liked this one. It was challenging but the solution wasn't overly complicated and had no hidden catches. It was a good chance to show off my problem-solving skills, like writing clean code and unit tests. The last step was like a 'code review'. They asked me about the choices I made and how I'd add new features to my code. The interviewers were great, again, no hidden problems or weird questions. I really felt like I could show my skills, and they gave me time to think and explain my answers. It felt like I was already part of the team, looking over my code together. All in all, a great experience.
