Behavioral Technical Coding

So I first registered my interest with my recruiter and then had an initial phone chat with HR/the Hiring Team. It felt mostly like a culture fit check. After that, I had a technical test, and then a face-to-face interview with two people from the team. When I got to the office, they gave me a paper with some simple technical challenges, but we didn't really go over them in the interview.
