A coding challenge question was nice. I received a SpringBoot application with maven project. It also had integration tests. The question was to create 3 Rest endpoints with straight forward logic. The challenging part is not to implement the requirements but to implement it in a codility environment. Codility is the worst platform to implement a modular application, it works for small algorithmic problems. Despite I was able to run full problem in my IDE (Which they also recommend), I was not able to detect why it failed to compile and run on the codility. It is difficult to implement, copy to codility and make it run on codility within 2 hrs.
Technical Stage was a code review exercise. You had 5 mins to read the code explain what it does and find ways to improve it. Would help if you've used Django previously.
