It was a bit lengthy of a process but luckily they are very communicative. Stage 1: 45 minute HR call, stage 2: Technical assessment, stage 3 interview with QA lead and a senior QA, not sure if there is another stage. But honestly, they didn't really seem to know what they were doing or asking. They also refused to give feedback .
An initial video call with HR to run them through your resume, getting further details about the role and the organization, answering several questions about your relevant experience and salary/rate expectations.
