Colloquio
An intro screen call with a recruiter, followed by 2 hour-long initial assessment interviews for coding (not leetcode) and system design. After the assessment rounds came a longer loop consisting of an hour-long "integration" coding session involving working with an existing codebase and interacting with external APIs, a 45-minute "adaptability" behavioral session, a 45-minute technical discussion involving presenting and answering questions about a former software project to other software engineers, and finally an hour-long career history discussion with the hiring manager. Overall everyone from the recruiter to the interviewers were very friendly and helpful.

Colloquio
7 stages.
- Screening call
- initial code challenge
- 4 more code challenges
- behavioural
The 4 code challenges and behavioural are schedules as a panel, all in one day, an hour each, or you can split them into two days. Interviewers seem to be chosen at random, and are not necessarily going to be a part of your team.
I applied for staff developer role, backend, and they for some reason put me through a full stack interview process. One of the challenges I got was about frontend code, which was not supposed to be a part of my process (and my HR representative agreed), but nothing was done to correct this mistake.
