four steps. firstly meeting with the potential peers talking about the work position, wether the expectations are met and whether I understand what the job implies. then meeting with hiring managers, who put you understress with questions about your personality and constantly counter what you say. thirdly, cognitive and personality tests and finally meeting with HR.

Interview
Pros:
None worth mentioning from the interview process.
Cons:
Interviewers (two product managers) came across as entitled and unprepared.
They were unable to clearly explain what the role involved, yet dismissed questions as if already addressed.
Poor communication: one spoke with very weak English, the other so softly it seemed more like posturing than dialogue.
Overall atmosphere felt arrogant and lacking in professionalism.
Advice to Management:
Invest in interview training for your managers. Candidates deserve clarity, respect, and a professional dialogue not dismissiveness or confusion.

Interview
Very fast recruitment process, communication is clear and you get to meet most of your future colleagues during the interviews. So it gives a good impression of the company and the role. There is an assessment as part of the process, questions are similar to those IQ tests.
