7 stages.
- Screening call
- initial code challenge
- 4 more code challenges
- behavioural
The 4 code challenges and behavioural are schedules as a panel, all in one day, an hour each, or you can split them into two days. Interviewers seem to be chosen at random, and are not necessarily going to be a part of your team.
I applied for staff developer role, backend, and they for some reason put me through a full stack interview process. One of the challenges I got was about frontend code, which was not supposed to be a part of my process (and my HR representative agreed), but nothing was done to correct this mistake.

The process was smooth. A quick intro call with recruiter, an interview with the team engineering manager and a technical system design interview with a senior staff engineer.
The engineering manager interview was focused on cultural and team work and assessing if there is a match between what they need and what the candidate offers.
