Process
I applied online. The process took two months.
The interview is structured in various phases. First there are culture-free logic quizzes, followed by two interviews, first with HR and then the technical one, which remains very independent of a specific technology / language

Where hard and smart work matters
Software Engineer • Current Employee
June 26, 2023
Pros: Great colleagues: incredibly clever and always available to help each other.
Challenging work: most of the chores that can be automated have been automated, so we can focus on what really matters.
Total flexibility and responsibility: micromanagement simply doesn't exist, because for us it doesn't make sense.
Cons: The pressure is on: one has to deal with wanting to always excel. For most of us, this is what we want for our life anyway, but it's not for everyone, and there's nothing wrong with wanting something different.
Still, the pressure might be hard sometime.
