Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
The process took three weeks.
- First Interview (1 Hour): A general discussion about my experience, along with very simple technical questions related to data structures and Kotlin.
- Android Engineer Interview: A deep discussion covering various Android topics, tools, and APIs. It was a nice conversation and of average difficulty.
- System Design Interview: A live coding session where they provided a project, asked me to fix issues, and implement some features. It was slightly stressful but still manageable.
- Problem-Solving Interview: A medium-level problem from LeetCode.
Afterward, they informed me that I didn’t pass due to my performance in the problem-solving interview. I was extremely frustrated; if this was the most important part, they could have assessed it first and saved both my time and the interviewers' time.

Software Engineer • Current Employee

August 2, 2025
Pros: Especially in engineering, product, or data, the salaries are quite competitive with Western European capitals.
The culture is relatively good, comparing to other same-sized companies.
Cons: 1. As the company gets bigger, more and more bureaucracies are introduced on every layer. Most of them cause things to go slower and more politics to be involved within decision-making processes.
2. A recently introduced RTO policy was implemented in a way that does not value employee feedback or satisfaction at all. RTO policies are implemented regardless of performance statistics, clearly, even though management repeatedly claimed otherwise. In many teams, high performers were the ones who were less in the office, and management wanted employees to believe it was the other way around. This was a bit insulting.
3. Every year, benefit packages are getting smaller.
