It's an extremely long process that includes standardized tests, take home assignments, and several rounds of interviews. It was at least 5 rounds long and you interview across different teams.

Entrevista
I applied for Software Engineer Python & K8s. Process was similar to other candidates. Written interview with stupid question (which is not read by the next interviewers) stupid IQ test alike then meeting with a real person. In that interview you get information about the company. Then, technical written interview. If you pass you attend to 2 technical interviews with a person. Interactively they want you to write code. At Python interview first they review your code at assessment then they give you a case to write a code. Pretty simple. I failed at Linux/ops Skills interview but I already told them I have no experience except my research about that field. Still they interviewed me and rejected my application after 4 weeks. Do not waste your time : 1) if you don't have any open source project contribution 2) If you are not fulfilling the needs in job description. 3)If you need a job urgently (The interview process will be long and you will fail %80 )

Tech Assesment was about fetching data from mirror and parsing. Python Interview: Review your assessment code and sample case to store data in memory and fetch it. Linux/Ops Interview: Try to learn as much information about the system which you only know it is Linux.

They have a really long, tiring interview process. The first round was a written interview where I had to answer like 15 questions. Then a coding interview with 1 hour time that I could do anytime for 2 weeks. Then I had to take a personality test and they totally ghosted me.

The written part was unnecessarily long and the coding interview didn't give any feedback but the questions were fair. Online IDE was a bit slow. Some information multiple choice questions were not things that measure competency.
