Hi,

The first round typically takes place 1-3 weeks after the invitation. If you feel not sufficiently prepared, you can always request more time.

Echo what Mattijs said.

In general, it is worth being nearly ready for your interviews by the time you apply, as the process can move quickly. Sometimes, there are delays however - no fixed timeline.

Hi there,

Typically you get an interview within the month, but it can differ.

What's important to know is that scheduling the interview is a two-way process. Meaning, you can also tell them if you don't feel you're ready and need more time until the interview is scheduled. 

Best,
Cristian
