Junior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online. The process took two months.

It was an extremely long and inefficient process. You need to complete many long take-home tasks, and you'll spend hours with those before even talking to someone. The three interviews are nice, and the people are really kind, which is a plus. However, they asked for references and made interviews with them, only to get rejected in the end.

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... They aim for the stars and you absolutely want to be aboard that rocket!

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).
