@bob Yes, as part of the interview process we do require candidates to complete a coding challenge or assessment. The assessment is designed to give us a better understanding of a candidate's technical skills and problem-solving abilities, and it typically takes around 2-3 hours to complete. We also conduct a series of interviews with members of our team, including the hiring manager, team leads, and other developers. The interviews are designed to give us a better understanding of a candidate's experience, communication skills, and cultural fit within our team.
