The codility problems where medium level I would say. The HR interview is a standard one: you got to talk a little bit about your previous experience (in my case was mainly University since I'm a fresh graduate) and then you got the usual questions about how to deal with situation in the specific case and so forth. The technical interview was pretty standard as well: the interviewer presented a coding problem and ask me to solve it. It took me a while to do that but eventually I was able to solve it and had some question about code complexity and the data structure used in my code.
