One HR call about the job and questions about current situation and skill set. Next round is a python screening interview where you meet with one of the employees who was in the role previously to go over python code on projects. Lastly it is a call with the CEO of the company.

Why remote work is beneficial to you
The initial interview process was standard and organized, but the employment contract contained predatory terms. The offer included a Training Services Agreement requiring a 3-year commitment. If you resign or are terminated for "Cause" (defined to include "substandard performance"), you must repay training costs at a penalty rate of $150.00 per hour. The training is described as merely in-house for proprietary software, not a transferable license or degree that justifies such a debt.
Additionally, the Protective Agreement demanded you provide passwords and forensic access to my personal devices upon separation. When asked to remove these clauses, management admitted via email they were "irrelevant" to the role but refused to modify the contract. Because the contract explicitly supersedes all email assurances, I was forced to decline.
You get an email to take an online assessment to assess your analytical and math skills. Additionally you fill out a questionnaire assessing your skills and temperament and then take another assessment on your understanding of excel. If your responses to these assessment pass some criteria you get a phone interview.
The analytical/math skills assessment follows standardized testing so if you have not done those in a while or are not good at those then it does not accurately reflect your analytical skills based on education or experience.
They also want you to sign a three year contract.
