As soon as my CV reached them, I had 7 days to complete a HackerRank and 2 more tests. It took them from Monday morning (when I submitted the coding test) to Wednesday evening to reply.

Pregunta 1
Was a Hacker Rank average but difficult, then a CS questions in multiple choice and finally some kind of minigames.
After I applied, I received an online assessment shortly. It was hacker-rank styled. I had only 2 choices of language - C++ and Java. A bit difficult than average, but doable with a lot of practice.
The original assessments consisted of:
- A coding test (1 hard question) which takes approx. 75 minutes
- A coding knowledge quiz
- Zap-N, a set of short neuro assessment games
