I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Backbase in Jul 2021
Interview
It was 3 stages: 1 with HR, 2 with engineers of different levels and business streams.
Was really surprised both at friendliness of the whole process (especially appreciated as I was a foreigner with 0 knowledge of local culture) and also professionalism of the interviewers. They didn't ask bs first-link-on-google questions to test your memory on definitions - only stuff that's really relevant to the actual job and something to better understand previous experience with different technologies, processes, etc.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Backbase in Aug 2021
Interview
It was a very interesting recruitment process consisting of two rounds of interview. First with two security engineer and another with CISO and development manager.
Both interviews were very technical and questions asked was relevant to the role.
The only doubt I've had was related to one of the contract clauses I was presented with though we managed to find a common ground in the period of slightly over a week.
