I got contacted for an initial phone conversation, and then it moved quickly into a one-hour video call. The recruiter mainly checked logistics—whether I was still looking for a role, and whether I was ready to relocate if needed.
On the video call, there were both motivation questions and some technical discussion. The technical part wasn’t presented as a hands-on exercise; it felt more like a conversation where they verified my reasoning and how I described my background.

I applied online and then got invited to a video interview that mixed mathematical and reasoning-style questions. That was followed by a virtual assessment center where I could choose a date, and the format immediately felt more like a structured exercise than a typical interview. About two weeks later, I joined a group of roughly fourteen people who were split into two teams for a scenario task.
The scenario work focused on weighing up options and presenting a recommendation back to the assessors. After that group activity, I had a 1:1 interview where I received questions in advance, which made it easier to prepare and less stressful in the moment. The overall vibe stayed calm and friendly; I didn’t feel ambushed or targeted.
