Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months.

I went through several interviews (screening, manager interview, stakeholder interview) and they scheduled a technical interview for me to present a case study—I spent days working on the presentation, which was canceled, and after 1 week they told me that another candidate who was further along in the process had already been hired.

Pros: Solid company, with very little bureaucracy, provides a lot of learning in different aspects of the career and has great benefits.

Cons: Most of the technology is developed internally, so the learning curve and onboarding process can be a bit longer than usual in other companies. However, this is already expected and known by the company for new members.
