Entrevista
A pretty gruelling all-day series of interviews, including one-on-one and group interviews. Interviewers ranged from mid-level managers to workers in related units. Most interviewers focused on asking basic questions to verify the details of my resume. Did whiteboarding of basic coding problems - they seemed to be looking for more thinking/asking than writing.

Entrevista
Friendly and engaging conversation even though there was always emphasis on assessing technical skills. Focus was primarily on high level understanding of algorithms and implementation. The HR was proactive in following up and organise the non-technical rounds promptly.

Entrevista
It was Easy to apply online. I got a short phone screen with HR. Then, fastly processed the first interview. There was one person, the leader of the group. Asked question on the technical side mostly. It was seem to be positive. But never informed on the result.

Entrevista
The interview was pretty average (in difficulty terms), but most of the people I met with created a hostile environment - very much putting you to the test, rather than treating you as an equal. The phone interview, where you record yourself answering some preset questions was intense, but a very clever use of technology to pre-screen. The on-site interview consisted of a presentation followed by 1:1 meetings. In addition, they also did a technical interview, styled after software engineering tech interviews, with mostly basic CS and basic ML questions. Overall, the whole on-site day felt like an examination, rather than an interview.
