Entrevista
There were 4 stages after the application:
1. Online hackerrank
2. Behavioural interview (30min)
3. Online technical interview (1hr) that was focused on data structures, algorithms and time complexity.
4. Final Round which consisted of a behavioural interview (45min), an algorithm design interview (1hr) and a system design interview (1hr)
Everyone I talked to was very friendly and engaged throughout the interviews.
Preguntas de entrevista [2]
Pregunta 1
Some behavioural questions:
1. What drives me for this role and technology
2. Describe a time you've received feedback
Also needed to have examples of good and bad teamwork and clearly say what my role was and why the team performed well/poorly.
Online technical interview:
1. You are given a list of network packages to send from A to B and you are given a list of routes that take varying times. Each of the packages have an associated time and the total time for a given package to travel on a particular route is calculated by multiplying the route time x package time. Find the quickest way to send all of the packages.
As soon as my CV reached them, I had 7 days to complete a HackerRank and 2 more tests. It took them from Monday morning (when I submitted the coding test) to Wednesday evening to reply.

Pregunta 1
Was a Hacker Rank average but difficult, then a CS questions in multiple choice and finally some kind of minigames.
After I applied, I received an online assessment shortly. It was hacker-rank styled. I had only 2 choices of language - C++ and Java. A bit difficult than average, but doable with a lot of practice.
The original assessments consisted of:
- A coding test (1 hard question) which takes approx. 75 minutes
- A coding knowledge quiz
- Zap-N, a set of short neuro assessment games

The coding test question was very difficult. Required a great understanding of data structures in programming and problem solving
