Multiple stages of interview including recruiter interview, technical interviews (online test and pair programming), a cultural-fit interview, and short presentation.

It is a long series of interviews, very varied in areas. It's likely changed since I was hired, but for me as a grad dev in 2019 it comprised of the following interviews: - Phone call - The grad recruiter had a chat with me over the phone, just getting to know who I was, asking questions about my resume & what I value in a workplace. - Take home Coding Assignment - I was given 3 assignments to choose between in a few languages & a few days to complete it. - Technical interview - I went in & had 2 developers ask me about my assignment (& my logic behind it) & pair with me to add testing/improvements. - cultural interview - Was given a deck of question cards & spent 20-30mins answering random ones with 2 current empoyees (Eg. what is something you're proudest of? How have you dealt with conflict in the past? If you didn't have to worry about money/time what is something you'd most want to create? ect.) - presentation - I was asked to make a 5-10min presentation on something important to me/ I was interested in (not technological) - consulting interview - 2 current Employees pretended to be horrible clients for 15 mins& I had to figure out how to manage them ("So what's the project?" "we have to win" "win what?" "the competition" "....what competition?" ect & having each of them have completely different ideas of success)

It might have changed since I interviewed - I went through a telephone screening, had to do a coding project, a pairing interview, a cultural interview, and finally a consulting interview.

I had 4 interviews and this is probably the hardest interview process i have participated in. They were very timely in informing me oh my progress and gave me good visibility to what next.
