Technical Case Behavioral
It was pretty standard: first an HR chat, then a 1-hour technical interview, and finally a behavioral interview with the CTO and Head of Engineering. Each round had two interviewers. They did a technical test and a short case study for the behavioral part, with some quick non-technical questions thrown in.

Technical Coding
For the interview process, they give an assignment to build an app that lists Github repos. You have freedom on when to deliver the work, but be careful as it can be a trap. They are not solely focused on the final result but more on aspects like code quality and architecture.

Technical Coding
Applied for a role and got a first interview. Did well, then got a second technical interview. But before I could finish, they told me the role was filled. Odd. A week later, they contacted me again, seems the first candidate declined the offer. I almost didn't go back, but decided to try again. Had to build an app for the technical interview, then another 90-minute technical round which felt easy. Got a rejection email a week later. The whole thing felt like a waste of time. Super frustrating.
