Process

I applied online. The process took two months.

My steps:

Uploaded CV through their website
Completed generic logic tests
Completed role-specific tests
Waited about one month
First cognitive interview
Second cognitive interview and live logic problems
Final feedback

It's a long process. Is it worth it or not? I think it depends on what you are looking for. You can't blame the company for the methodology because if they have tons of requests and they're picky, then pre-selection via tests is a decent solution. The interviewers are kind and welcoming, and they make you feel comfortable. I didn't have to go through technical interviews.

Pros: It’s a workplace which perfectly matches the word “flexible” - you have the freedom of working from anywhere in the world without your salary being impacted. You can also conduct your asynchronous work at any time you want. You have the opportunity to contribute and bring value to areas even outside of coding. The variety of tasks which I was able to take on made everything all the more exciting, fulfilling, and genuinely fun.

Cons: Everything is fast-paced, so you may feel overwhelmed as a newcomer. It all goes away though because people are very supportive and understanding.
