Process
I applied online. The process took two months.
The interview was made up of multiple stages, with an emphasis on logical and analytical thinking and multiple behavioral questions. They also tested the ability to filter useful information from unnecessary details. There were little to no questions about specific programming languages features or quirks. I really enjoyed the thoroughness of the interviewers and the structured initial screening stages.
Questions
I cannot disclose the details. There were multiple logical questions, algorithms, system design, and behavioral questions.

Pros: Work-from-home, flexible hours, friendly environment, trust toward the employee, transparency and equality, delicious free food, awesome relax areas, tons of team building activities, retreats, welfare program, healthcare insurance...

Cons: The office is located in the most modern part of the city, which is a top-rated location for branding, but it's difficult to reach if you don't live in the center of Milan (which is crazy expensive).
