Interview
I applied online and was contacted by their HR rep for an initial phone interview. After that, I was scheduled for an onsite interview consisting of three phases:
1) Interview with team members. - This interview was technical, seeing if I had the qualifications and skills they were looking for.
2) Interview with the potential future boss. - This interview was more about seeing if I would be a good fit for the role and the company.
3) Interview with HR. Standard HR interview here.
My only objection to the process is that even after making it to the in-person triple interview phase, I was never contacted to let me know I didn't get the job. There was simply a stone-wall silence from them.

Question 1
How would you set up your code to <insert standard technical procedure here>? I'm sorry, but I don't feel comfortable giving away their specific question. I was allowed to answer using pseudo-code.

First step was a 15-min call with a person who seemed to be in HR. Asked about whether I'm eligible to work in the country, whether I'm ok with the location and format of work, discussed starting salaries. Got an invite to an hour-long video interview with the engineering team.
