Process
Interviews were surprisingly straightforward, not meeting the high expectations set by GAFAM. The company claims to have a similar hiring standard, but it didn't reflect in the interview process. One of the interviewers seemed disinterested and rushed to finish.
Overall, the company offers a good compensation package and a relaxed atmosphere, but lacks opportunities for career growth.
