The first part of the interview was 2 different cognitive assessment games. The first game was about testing different car assemblies to get through obstacle courses. The second game was about improving a factory's production line. Then, the second part of the interview put you in different work scenarios and asked you to pick the best and worst ways to handle them from a list. Lastly, you had to do two LeetCode-type problems on CodeSignal, one medium and one hard.

Then, there was an online synchronous interview with 2 coding questions (LC Mediums) and a behavioural part.
