It's an extremely long process that includes standardized tests, take home assignments, and several rounds of interviews. It was at least 5 rounds long and you interview across different teams.

Many stages. None of the interviewers knew in which phase I was. Most people were really kind but all in all it felt poorly organized. Finally got to talk to the CTO but I was rejected in the very last step. I gues they were missing open source contributions from my side. In the end they suggested me another position - and I wouldn't need to restart from the beginning. Still, they couldn't tell me how many other steps would be required for a decision. No way.

Question 1
Very detailed questions about Python. You should know about the GIL etc.

They have a really long, tiring interview process. The first round was a written interview where I had to answer like 15 questions. Then a coding interview with 1 hour time that I could do anytime for 2 weeks. Then I had to take a personality test and they totally ghosted me.

The written part was unnecessarily long and the coding interview didn't give any feedback but the questions were fair. Online IDE was a bit slow. Some information multiple choice questions were not things that measure competency.
