The interview process was in depth.
Started with a phone call and then a take home technical test. Technical test was open ended so there was a lot of freedom to test out different ideas. Probably one of the more enjoyable technical test on a topic I enjoyed learning about.
This was followed by another technical test going through a live coding session. Was definitely hard, but rewarding. This wasn't a leetcode live coding session if you were wondering.
Final interview was a teams meeting discussing my motivations. Looking at cultural fit and soft skills.
Recruiting team kept in contact with me the whole way through. Decisions were made fast.

Initial 30 minute call with another solution engineer, and was then given a take-home task to complete, with a follow-up call with one of the founders. The task was very under-specified, both in terms of the desired functionality and the aspects of the solution they want to focus on (if you're going to assess things like automated testing, CI/CD, code format, or whatever, on a 4 hour task, it might help to let people know this beforehand so they know which corners it is ok to cut). I spent quite a few hours over a weekend on the task, and was ready to discuss the pros and cons of the solution, but I didn't get asked a single question about it during the call. I had the strong impression that no-one at Tomoro even looked at my solution (which is borne out by other reviews here). Instead, I was asked questions about the design of a solution he'd recently worked on (always amazed by people who supposedly have a data or stats background but who will happily assess candidate suitability on a random sample of 1 question).
