I went through a consulting firm for this. The final interview was a letdown. One of the senior devs barely introduced himself and didn't even turn his camera on, even though he was actively participating. Overall, the team seemed pretty uninterested. I had to repeat some of the same answers more than once because they didn't seem to be paying attention. Anyway, by this point, I could already tell how much of a mess this role would be.

Presentation Technical Coding System Design Behavioral

The hiring process had 3 stages. First, a recruiter reached out on LinkedIn and scheduled a call where I presented my background and answered basic web concepts questions. Next, there was an online test on Hackerrank. To pass, I needed a score of 150. The theoretical questions were worth 50 points, and there were 3 logic/programming tests, each worth 50 points. The final stage was an interview with the hiring manager and two developers. They asked more in-depth questions about my technical skills and their specifics, as well as about scrum and soft skills. Finally, I was asked to design a microservices architecture.
