Interview
Video interview followed by tests and first round. Interviewer was polite and cordial, and encouraged me throughout my answer. Questions were relatively easy to begin with but became more challenging as the interview went on.
mainly competency but quite a lot of coding, they need a good level of python. Nice interview, they make you feel at ease even if questions are not always the easiest!
