Everything took 1 months Stage 0: Hr questions motivation and salary. Stage 1: Tech interview basic questions on algorythms Stage 2: Assignment that implied working with a webservice via sockets Stage 3. Code review and final questions In the end the HR offered me a contract for a substantially inferior salary. I was quite unhappy not only with the offer but with the whole fact they were wasting my time for the whole month. Quite an undecent behavior.
