This process was a pretty straight forward interview process by most people's standards. First there was an initial phone screening and then some tests. Following this there was a longer, more technical interview with some deeper aspects to it. I'd say that overall a good experience, though I didn't get an offer.

Interview
Call me from HR to schedule interview onsite (although corona virus). Onsite, I waited 20 min post the interview start time because the security at the entrance didnot figure out who is the head of the team (it was written but they told at the beginning they doesn't know anybody here that has this name).
