There were 4 interviews, although a lot of them were to see if I was a good cultural fit for the job. One of the interviews was technical, no tests just brief questions.
Just an intro screening interview great help pack sent beforehand about the company. The first stage was a great experience and made me feel more at ease for such a well known company
