CV screening was followed by an Online Assessment, then a Hirevue recorded interview, and finally a live final interview. The overall process was quite reasonable. The Hirevue stage had 5 questions of fairly good difficulty, and the final interview was okay, but ultimately I was eliminated.

It was a pretty standard technical interview process, with easy questions in the first round. I didn't make it to the superday, maybe they only hire locals? Not sure. Save your time applying, they only give interviews to people who connected beforehand.
