Interview
Recruiter call
2hr Codility test
Engineering manager call - 1/2 hour
1 & 1/2 hour live coding interview & technical Q/A
People were very pleasant. But felt the process was too lengthy and repetitive. Also not enough time for candidates to ask questions.
Felt more preparation could be given to candidates - e.g. ensure your local development environment was setup.
Eventually I decided to drop out of the process due to lack of clarity around the role applied for and felt there was little growth opportunity
