The process involved two main parts. First, a brief chat with the hiring agency. If successful, the next step was an in-person session lasting about 4 hours. This included a technical part that felt like a set of games, starting with a group coding activity, followed by an exercise where a group of 5 split into smaller teams for different tasks. There was also a one-on-one chat with a software engineer, which was more of a discussion.
