Entretien
Online code test, followed by a non-technical Skype interview, followed by an on-site assessment day. Assessment day was with 5 other applicants and involved a group exercise. Lots of "there's no right answer" type questions with a cultural fit interview and a technical interview - all done on the assessment day.

Interview was very warm and welcoming. I was interviewed by 3 people. Mostly technical questions. They asked me about my background, personal projects and internships I've done. They didn't look at my transcript.

The process was tedious and took too long. First I received a HackerRank exercise, which I had to complete in two hours. I finished it in less than half the time: there were two exercises, the first one pretty was easy, and the second one a bit trickier.
After that, I got an invitation for a video call interview: questions about me, my expectations...
Finally, there was an event where I was supposed to meet part of the engineering team, do a group exercise and also an individual interview. It was scheduled to last more than 4 hours... not very appealing.
I ended up accepting another offer which I preferred over this one.

The assessment day takes place at the head office in Edinburgh (regardless of where you're applying to, e.g. London applicants will still go to Edinburgh.) There is a teamworking exercise and two further interviews. A cultural interview and a technical interview. The technical interview was advertised as assessing how you would approach a task but was also quite involved with the amount of theory you would need to know.
