Interview
It took almost 4 weeks. I had first the codility (code assessment), then a pre-screening interview with and HR member and eventually I got the first technical interview with a Senior Engineer of the team which I've applied for.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The codility problems where medium level I would say. The HR interview is a standard one: you got to talk a little bit about your previous experience (in my case was mainly University since I'm a fresh graduate) and then you got the usual questions about how to deal with situation in the specific case and so forth.
The technical interview was pretty standard as well: the interviewer presented a coding problem and ask me to solve it. It took me a while to do that but eventually I was able to solve it and had some question about code complexity and the data structure used in my code.

Interview
Ghosted!
I applied through the company’s website, and after two weeks I was invited to a 20-minute interview with HR.
The interviewer was not very friendly, and overall the interview was quite ordinary. They asked me about my background and my motivation for joining the company.
Two weeks later, I received an automated email saying that the position had been filled. Even though I followed up with the recruiter by email, I didn’t receive any response and was essentially ghosted.

Initial Test
I got an email from HR team the next day right after I applied to do an initial test through Codility. It went well as the questions were quite easy
Interview
The next day I got invitation email for HR interview. BUT when I attend, there is NO ONE appeared for HR call. HR doesn't even bother to reply or give an update.
They do not seem to be serious with hiring. Feels like they just do it to gain some kind of popularity. Do not waste your time to interview with this company.
