Entrevista
First was a phone call with the HR team (30 minutes), just to describe the 3 phases of the interview process. First interview was a logic test - 13 questions (1 hour) in a made up language and then a code review sheet to evaluate (15 min) - all writen. Passed it.
Second stage is a face-to-face interview with 2 developers in the company. 1 from the team I applied for, the second from another team. Talked about my previous projects, CV, 3 questions about Java: HashTables, Multi-Threading and atomic operations, Solve a generic whiteboard problem (find the pairs of intergers that make up a given number).
Didn't make it to stage 3, unfortunately. Everyone I met was very positive though.

I don't remember every aspect of that interview well, but I know there were a few deep-level questions about how data structures work. Interview was conducted by two devs. It seemed formal and the atmosphere was rough.

Why array elements are instant access when you know their index?
The first stage was quite a hard test task. Then I was invited to the second stage for an interview which did not go well for me. The conversation was conducted in a friendly atmosphere

Reached out by hr and scheduled first round. Everyone I met are very friendly but their interview is not typical and the algorithm question I got is a bit tricky.
So the first round has two parts. First part they ask some java, oop, design and db related questions. They cover quite a lot topics. This requires some time to prepare if you want to cover everything. Just from a candidate point of view, I feel it’s not worth to spend time preparing so much for one single company in a hunting season because you probably won’t be asked elsewhere. Second part is a algorithm question but a tricky one. I don’t remember exactly but it’s like you have the answer immediately after you understand the questions, but you tends to overthink because of the context.
