The process had several rounds. It comprised an initial online tech assessment (some multiple choice questions and a sql and python exercise), HR chat, personality interview, case study and one final chat.
The case study was a take-home assignment to be discussed in an hour interview.
Overall they were professional and kind.

The interview process was smooth and well-structured, with technical questions that gradually increased in difficulty. This approach made the discussion feel comfortable, engaging, and gave me the chance to showcase my skills step by step.
