The interviews are split in 4 phases: 1. One English language interview (it lasted 5 mins) 2. An online coding interview with 3-4 data structures and algorithms problems 3. A live coding session with 2 easier problems (each problem should be solved in about 15 mins) 4. A take-home project based on some requirements they send you via e-mail
