Took around a month. Initial call with recruiter, followed by in person day. Day consisted of team task, then 3 1 hour interviews assessing cultural fit, technical skills and way of thinking.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Backbase (Cardiff, Wales) in Dec 2020
Interview
A current employee, whom I had went to University with, recommended me.
I had an informal video chat with one of the recruiters. Just a quick 10-20 minute chat to gauge if you'd be a good fit for the company.
I then had to do a code challenge. As I was applying for a front end role I had to create a small Angular application, I had 7 days to do so, at home. Other roles have different challenges.
Once submitted and looked over, I was then invited for the final interview. It was in two parts, about an hour each, the first was with two senior engineers, with the main focus being around my submitted code challenge, then some other questions about your technical area/previous projects. The second was with two managers, which was on you as a person, your journey, your experience, strengths/weaknesses, how you would approach certain scenarios etc.
Both parts allowed plenty of time for you to ask them questions as well. All in all they were very comforting and open. Came across very passionate of what they do and have a belief in the company.
The whole process was very quick. Maximum two weeks from initial recommendation to offer, and was over Christmas period.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Backbase (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2020
Interview
The interview process took about a month. I initially received an email from the recruiter requesting information about my skill set. After this, the recruiter and I setup a quick chat to go over some details about the company. He assigned me a take home assessment. After completing the assignment, two more interviews were scheduled. Everyone that I spoke to at the company was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
