Process
There was an online interview and coding test in which we had to record our answers to given questions. Then, on the assessment day, we had two interviews: a technical and a competency-based. This was followed by a group activity. Everyone was very friendly, and they constantly showered us with refreshments.

Pros: Really nurture the staff and have a clear vision where they want to be. Projects are well maintained and PO's (at least the one I crossed paths with) are generally decent at driving the team.
There's good talent around you, and you feel the teamwork mindset that is endorsed every day.
Cons: Still aren't a truly remote company. For its size and investment in tech, the company should be more open with regards to remote working, allowing staff to remote in from other countries which are not where the employee is allocated (e.g., UK staff being able to remote in from, let's say, Spain).
They allow only 3 weeks in a year, which is almost nothing. Some room for improvement here.
