You have a call with a recruiter to understand the position, then a 30 minutes call with a live coding exercise and a 5h interview loop where half of the time is on coding and half of the time is on the situational questions.
They reply you back within 5 days to tell you whether they're gonna make you an offer or not and then the offer per se might take up to 3 weeks to receive.
