Entretien
The interview is typically first call with the Recruiter, where they will ask about motivation, strength and weakness. They will also explain the steps of the interview.
The second round is coding interview, they are not sure if they need this round or not.
If you clear the coding round, then there are possibility for further coding rounds/technical interviews.

Question 1
it was python question to parse comma separated log entries where we need to find open session, completed session and out of session operations:

Entretien
The interview process started with an online HR screening call, and the HR employee was highly professional. I had a nice interaction with her. The next round was a ~35 minutes coding assessment, to test your coding skills. The question was super easy, but they were adamant about using CoderPad as the online editor, and Python as the compulsory language to code (unfortunately, the interviewer invitation said otherwise and that they were flexible with the IDE and the language, but that was not the case). CoderPad had such a poor interface, that it took me a long time to understand how to interact with the editor. I couldn't complete such an easy problem in time, because my main coding language has been Java (although the interviewer did support in translating the Java functions to Python). Also, the interviewer kept poking around while I was coding, which was annoying (because of which my attention was also diverted). It would have been nice if they were transparent about the coding-round process. I received an email about the negative result the next day. I am slightly disappointed by their way of communication about the coding round, and suggest other readers practice accordingly (it seems to be a good company). I hope the HR team takes notice of this feedback if they want to hire great engineers.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
1. The HR round (~30 minutes) was more about knowing the candidate - about oneself, motivation, etc. 2. The coding assessment involved parsing multiple DNS entries and count records (with parent and child domains considered exclusively for the count), probably sorting them by the count values, and returning the list with all sorted results.
