Phone interview. Mostly technical questions were asked, 1 soft skill question. Interviewer's environment having echo and interviewer's hard accent contributed to difficulty in interpreting questions clearly. Interview time was around 40-50 minutes.

Colloquio
Very long process. Took two weeks for each step. Panel interview where you met the whole team which was very nice! Prob the best interview experience I've had in awhile. Did not get an offer which is sad since I wasted a lot of my time and theirs during the interview.
