Interview
The process was smooth. The interview is up to six online sessions before a face to face interview is arranged. Half of the sessions are purely technical. The hiring process evaluates your skill thoroughly.

Reasoning outloud is a good strategy and be open to change. If you have many rounds with different people be sure to study the interview after the fact.
