I have applied for the software developer position on their jobs website. I received an email after more than a week. The interviewing process was described in that email.
1. Phone interview with the Recruiter
2. Technical phone interview with 2 members from the IT Department
3. In-person interview rounds at our Global headquarters in Amsterdam
The position was for Perl developer but they didn't require Perl experience.
I've passed first interview and I failed at the technical one. Since they have read my resume I expected questions that were in my field of knowledge.
Also I think that the description of requirements could be more clear.

Interview
First they called me and asked me a few questions about my availability and my personal experience. I was invited to an assessment with other 10 candidates. The assessment consisted in an English test and another for the language I was applying. After that we had a role play with a simulated call of a customer making a complain. And to finish we had the normal personal interview. All the process was very nice and very professional. A few days later they called me to offer the job.
