Interview
There was an IQ test and hacker rank problem-solving, which I did well. Then I went to the interview round. The HR person is not friendly. They never reply to any email, You won't get any answer/reply during the interview process. During the interview, she stopped the team leader abruptly and ended the interview very shortly. It was weird.

Interview
The whole interviewing process took nearly a month. The longest I've ever done. There was a total of 5 interviews plus an automated cognitive-assessment.
The latter was pretty much a standard personality assessment and an IQ test. I felt pretty poorly during the IQ test. The test was time-capped, rewarding a skill of skipping a question when you can't come up quickly with an answer for it. That's pretty much the exact opposite of what I've conditioned myself with during years and years of programming - not to easily give up on a problem.
First there was a short chat with the recruiter.
Next two technical interviews. First one involved some trivial coding exercises. The other one had more of a system-design level questions.
Finally there were two interviews with lead developers/team leaders. These were the nicest parts of the whole process as finally I was no more accused of possibly not being able to write code.
By the end I had reached a conclusion that this position is not really the one I'm looking for. I expressed this sentiment during the final interview, and the guy proposed he might have a more desirable job for me in one of the other teams in the company.
However, a week later the recruiter contacted me and told that they have revised their recruiting strategy and don't really have job for me.
