I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Checkout.com (Londen, Engeland) in Mar 2021
Interview
The recruiter messaged me on Cord and we had a 30 minute chat. It is knowing about me and why I am leaving my existing place and what I am looking for etc.
Then I had a 45 minutes chat with an engineering lead, it is more about my experience and asking questions based on my CV.
Then I was asked to develop an API as part of the technical test and was given 7 days time. The API can be designed and implemented in technology of your choice and it has many optional tasks like logging, monitoring, docker support, integration tests etc. I have done all my tasks and I go through that stage. They were happy with my code quality and standards and they called me for the next stage which is a 2.5 hours interview(1 hour technical, 1 hour product team, 30 mins HR).
