LC OA, you don't need max points to get in. The process involves a call with a recruiter, a take-home assignment, and then technical and two behavioral interviews.

People are really nice, and the office looks great. The interviews are generally easy, but the hiring bar is honestly all over the place.

My interviewers on the technical side didn't care about the extra effort put into the take-home. They asked really easy questions, allowed Googling, and let me choose what I wanted to show them. I didn't finish the take-home, but they were very nice and let me explain how I would follow up on what I had written. I received an offer, and the recruiters are really friendly too.

However, a friend of mine, who I think is much better and more experienced than I am and who helped me get where I am, did better on her interviews despite not being allowed to Google. She was denied with weird feedback that I can't really believe. This person has received offers from Uber and Amazon in Amsterdam and Luxembourg with much harder interviews, yet she was denied with comments that felt like they came from a manager rather than a software engineer.

It's a bit weird to write this because I'm really grateful, but admittedly, the hiring process is very all over the place and luck-based.
