A very quick 30 minute video chat, which can be lovely based on the time given, but there is a lot of chat from their side, so you're not given too much time to ask questions. If that goes okay, you're given a really long 4-part assignment, asking for test cases, test plans, automation scripts, bug fixes, and re-writing technical specs. They have a scoring system internally so you'll never know which is weighted. Which means no matter what you can excel, one thing going wrong is enough to disqualify. This also means they can change the requirements on the fly to disqualify you and keep the work you give for theirself.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Cycloid.io in Mar 2020
Interview
First you are assigned a coding challenge, if you pass you will have an interview with the backend team and then with HR. The backend team has the last word on the hiring.

Question 1
DDD, API, Go, more general topics no leet coding or whiteboards.
Job post stated that the opening was a remote one: no relocation/VISA required.
After the staff finds out that I'm from Eastern Europe, and not part of the EU (even though I can freely visit and stay in any Schengen country for up to 3 months), they "invent" a new requirement: applicants must have the right to work in France (no visa sponsorship).
The interview process was therefore stopped, and I was left with a "nice" feeling of exclusion based solely on my ethnicity.
