It was an easy process but offered a very low salary. They do not disclose about the salary until the final interview which is a red flag. They did not really test my skills, which they should have ideally.
Very lengthily, they took a couple of months to reply and after they did I did a series of interviews, some online some in person, I did a cognitive reasoning test as well as a character test. The interviewer was in his mid 30s and was straight forward and easy to understand and get along with. He was big on team culture so tended to talk about that the most instead of all other things.
