I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Checkout.com in Oct 2019
Interview
Before being called in for an interview, someone from the recruiting team contacted me for a phone interview. That went on for 20 mins or so, where the idea was more to get to know about me, current employment etc.
I was sent a technical exercise to complete within around a week (No hard deadline). After submitting this project, I was called for an interview where I was asked questions around technical decisions made during this projects (trade-offs, choices, etc).
A final interview/conversation with HR was then set up for salary specifics.

Question 1
I was asked to talk around projects I have worked on with localized content and what were the challenges implementing a project on a global scale.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Checkout.com (Londen, Engeland)
Interview
Overall, I definitely recommend going through this long application process. The process was approx 6 interviews in total, with 4 Core Competencies calls with different Product Directors.
Despite the length, the whole process was managed very professionally by the company recruiter, giving constant feedback throughout it and also keeping always informed of the status of the overall process.
This hiring process demonstrates the seriousness Checkout.com puts on their talent acquisition strategy.
The 4 Core Competencies interviews did not need any deliverable to be worked at home. It needed, though, some home preparation for them, and conversations where intense and full of product/strategy/metrics/execution/tech partnership questions. The interviewers were serious but always very respectful and made an effort to make the conversations pleasant.
It was well detailed process and I had time to ask details and get enough information.
