They wrote to me on LinkedIn presenting their company in a really nice and informal way, which I liked. After that, I had a Skype call with one of the founders who explained better what they do and what they are looking for. Then, I started the selection process, which consisted of two sets of four problems and two interviews with the founders. I really enjoyed the process, and I found it fun and challenging.
The only thing that I did not like was the last interview. They asked me behavioral questions by copying and pasting the questions into the Skype chat, together with a set of closed options that were really close to one another. I mean, up to that point, the process was at the edge of innovation, and everything was amazing and well organized, so why did they end up asking me questions in that way? I could not explain things, but I was just supposed to choose one. I found it really old-school and random. I did not like that, and it made me feel really uncomfortable, which did not happen until then.
Another thing that I did not like was that at the end I did not receive an offer since my interests were not aligned with the ones of the company. I think that maybe it is true, and it is a fair reason for not being chosen, but they could have figured that out at the beginning of the process without taking me so far in the selection, which took a lot of my time and energy. Apart from that, I really enjoyed the process, and I had fun.
I suggest that you take your time during the process and not rush things. Moreover, do not assume that if you are invited to the last step, then you will mostly get the job, which, I suppose, was my mistake.
Glassdoor is forcing me to fill this field, but I won't write the questions I received, since I think it is unfair for the company to let you know the questions in advance.
