Process
At first, I had a Skype interview with two Front-End Developers. We talked about my previous experience, how I prefer to work, what I like and don't like, and so on. In general, the interview went well, and I received positive feedback in a few days.
The next step was a technical task that they asked me to complete in 3-4 hours. I had to create an application that connects to a public API, shows information to the user, and gives them the possibility to filter the results.
I sent my test the very next day and got feedback in a week. The feedback was negative, pointing out UX/UI issues, the absence of Authentication and Error Handling, and some concerns regarding chosen technologies. Another comment was, "There is no real case to use this application. Why would I want to use this?" This was particularly noted, taking into account that the application had been done according to their specification.
While, in general, I agree with most of the comments provided to me, I don't really think it is possible to create a fully developed application within 3-4 hours.
In conclusion, this hiring process seemed to be really odd, and I'm rather happy to be rejected at this stage.

It's easy to get involved in almost any part of the business if you're interested.Cons: Frontend is a last-class citizen. Salary policy is dumb (rather do lower salaries so people that want to leave don’t have money as a reason not to).
- 4.0A great place to work, but there are signs of it becoming just another greedy, low-morale, poor-culture bankSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeAmsterdam, NetherlandsNovember 13, 2025Pros: Initially, an innovative, fast-paced company driven by incredible people. Generally, a great atmosphere to work in. Offers many opportunities to learn and grow.Cons: In the last year or two, the company started really shifting the focus away from the people, the culture, and the greater impact, to pure financial results and investor satisfaction. The little perks that were available for employees, such as nice breakfast snacks, free soda fridges, and in some cases, simple respect, are vanishing. The high leadership became arrogant. A few times, they publicly implied that the employees are somehow "free riding" and that we should be very grateful to them for the amazing conditions they are giving us. In some teams, we're working severely understaffed, but the expectation is to deliver massive results. This has been emphasized in almost every internal event.
