Interview
First a brief phone interview, mostly describing the role. On the interview day there was a written test, after which there was a face to face with two engineers. They were extremely nice and made the whole experience very comfortable. Questions were not too difficult and mostly relevant to day to day work. Nothing too tricky or unexpected.
