Colloquio
Quite challenging HackerRank test online, then onsite, 3x1h with two interviewers each. Standard set of tasks: programming exercise, OO design and system design questions. Nothing surprising or particularly difficult for a senior developer. However, during one of the sessions the interaction with interviewers was minimal. They just watched me writing code, nodded occasionally, answered my questions, and never gave any feedback. I find this a very unusual way of interviewing.
In the end it was a no with a very laconic and vague feedback.

Colloquio
A recruiter reached out through LinkedIn and gave an overview of the company and potential roles. The recruiter found an upcoming role that was a strong fit for my background.
I had one coding interview remotely (Leetcode style medium / easy). A week later we had the first onsite which comprised of a system design interview, a role specific skills interview, and another coding interview. All the onsite interviews had two interviewers and it worked really well for covering ground.
The final round was also on-site. There was a behavioural interview, an interview from the team manager, and their skip level manager.
It took a week to get a decision.
The recruiter gave advance guidance about each stage of the process and gave feedback as the process went. Super helpful.
The process worked really well and there's credit due to whoever has designed the process. I didn't make the cut, but it was a good process and 100% appropriate to the job being applied for.

All of the questions were relevant to the role. As someone without a finance background, they were both educational and challenging.

1. Call with the recruiter.
2. Call a software engineering manager. This is a 1-hour call, with the shoot and answer questions. If you do not know the answer, just say "Pass" and it is completely fine. The second part is a Programming Question. Typical DS and Algo questions in easy-medium scale.
3. Final round with 3 parts, with first being pair programming, ds and algo, and systems design. Standard questions.

Colloquio
Discussed the role with the recruiter over the phone and followed up with a technical interview over video, two interviewers from different parts of the organisation. Recruiter briefed me well on the topics to be covered but these were quite diverse with a focus on optimisation and performance.
