After an initial into interview, there was a take home technical assessment. The assessment was one of the better ones I've seen, with a good balance between being a reasonable ask, and providing a good evaluation of skills.
After the technical assessment, there was a 3-part interview. The first part was behavioral/culture, and consisted of an informal discussion. The second part involved going over my solution to the technical assessment. The third was a more general technical discussion.
