Started with initial screening phone call. Then an online code evaluation. The questions where highly algorithmic, but I was applying for an applied role.
The questions where not to hard, but given the time constraint it was a more challenging then I thought it should have been.

First skype call was just conversational. Probably just checking that I was able to speak and understand english (easy). Second was a test on Codility with 3 tasks for 90 minutes: nailing 2 out of 3 is good for front end. (hard). Third a live technical interview (hard). Fourth an app project (easy if you are already working as an app developer).

Chess related function to move a Knight. Not a chess player but the question was pretty well explained even if you are not familiar with the game. Just takes some time to put your mind in the pictured situation and turn it into a logical function and time was not a lot to complete all the 3 tasks.
