The process was carried out in multiple phases which included screening, coding test, live technical interview. That's all I reached. I hope to add more next time. Screening conducted 1 on 1. coding challenge gives you 4 question and 105 minutes, the technical interview depends on the evaluation made by the technical interview. He decides whether to proceed or not.

Question 1
Questions were simple algorithmic questions that you can(should for better time management) practice in any online coding challenge platform. Might be a bit easier than those.
I hated every aspect of it. I just went through the first call, and after 3 minutes of it, I wanted to finish asap (I literally looked at the clock). The interviewer was rude and had a “full of himself” attitude. Complete disgrace, thank God it was only 10 min the most painful 10 min of my life. Get over yourself and do a better job.

Interview
Online call on technical skills and motivations. I had the opportunity to know the company more and ask questions about its business. The recruiter gave me feedback at the end of the call and she didn't let me wait days for it.
