Interview
Several phone interview before having an on-site interview.
On-site interview with several teams and managers for the multiple open positions.
During the meeting, you get asked some professional questions on tools and experience.
You are presented with simulations to see how you would fix/investigate an issue or prepare a project.
As this is mostly all condensed in one day, this can be very heavy.
