I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Checkout.com in Oct 2019
Interview
Before being called in for an interview, someone from the recruiting team contacted me for a phone interview. That went on for 20 mins or so, where the idea was more to get to know about me, current employment etc.
I was sent a technical exercise to complete within around a week (No hard deadline). After submitting this project, I was called for an interview where I was asked questions around technical decisions made during this projects (trade-offs, choices, etc).
A final interview/conversation with HR was then set up for salary specifics.

I am due to have my first technical interview after an initial screening with one of their recruiters. The initial call was more about him telling me about checkout.com and me just giving a high level overview of my experience

I applied online. I interviewed at Checkout.com (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interviewer ghosted me after the initial interview was set up. Then, a new interview was scheduled. I had an interview with a manager in London, UK.
The interviewer asked some general programming questions, and I answered with relatively reasonable answers. Although the process went smoothly, I had no idea that they had no interest in continuing the hiring process.
Considering the initial interview was set up without any notice, I was ghosted by the initial manager for about 20 minutes, so this one is weird.
