Technical Coding
It started directly with a technical interview, no recruiter call beforehand. I wasn't told what to prepare or what the setup would be. The interviewer was friendly but joined 5 minutes late, cutting into my 40-minute slot.

Behavioral Coding Presentation
So the first step was like this virtual job interview thing where you had to record yourself answering some questions that were already recorded, using your camera. You got three tries for each answer. Towards the end, there was a programming challenge where I had to code in their IDE, and then for the very last question, I had to explain my thought process behind the solution.
