There was a culture assessment, followed by a technical interview and assessment and finally a manager interview. The culture assessment is standard. The difficulty was with the technical assessment, but it was doable.

Interview
After an online application the first step was to complete online assessments. After passing the online assessments the next stage was an interview with my potential line manager followed by a technical interview. Thereafter I provide your references for review and had a final meeting with my product head. I then recieved an offer, which I accepted.
The process was very efficient, considering all the steps, and the time between application and the offer was less than 3 week. I received feedback from recruiters throughout the process.
