The interview was mostly about questions about yourself, then some technical questions. Recruiter super nice. I did not move to next round though. Some questions about markets, but mainly focus in if you follow the markets or not.

Technical Coding Behavioral
The interview process involves 5 rounds: first an OT test, then a recruiter call, followed by a python test, then an interview with the team, and finally an interview with tech. So basically you need to pass 5 rounds to join the team, it's a really long process. though the pay doesn't really match the difficulty level of interviews.
