Coming from an encounter at a Auckland meetup my process may be different to a cold CV application. - Initial meeting - what did I want to do after graduating at uni? - Take home technical - couple of easy questions, clear. - The crux interview - review technical, additional CV questions, projects, fun questions. Big portion on reviewing technical, and extending it via a "change of requirements" or "thought experiment". - Final interview with Head of Tech, friendly tech heavy conversation. Depends on availability of relevant people.

Hiring was done in three steps. First a 30 minute chat, then a take-home exercise, and finally a interview going over the solutions from the take-home. Pretty reasonable. Questions asked was good for assessing breadth and depth of your knowledge. Was asked to some minor adjustments to solution as a part of the interview, but nothing too scary.
