The process included multiple on-site coding interviews and a behavioural round. Interviewers were technically strong, but there were last-minute changes to the schedule which made things feel slightly unstructured. The technical interviews were quite intense and focused on performance under pressure rather than collaborative problem solving.

After the interviews, I received an offer, but follow-up discussions revealed a rigid working culture. Fixed hours, no overtime compensation, and no flexibility for remote work or working abroad were clearly stated. When raising concerns about work-life balance, the response emphasised embracing a "fast-paced and chaotic" environment rather than addressing flexibility.

Overall, while the technical bar is high and compensation is competitive, the culture felt misaligned with a sustainable work-life balance.
