Process
Cleared all 3 rounds. No offer.
1st round: A typical Express/Node.js task. They mentioned it should take 3 hours, but to truly pass this round, you need to spend more time on it.
2nd round: Technical discussion around database concurrency and other technical topics, primarily focused on databases and Node.js. The interviewers were knowledgeable, and I enjoyed talking with them.
3rd round: Behavioral interview, focusing on past experiences and how you handled difficult situations.
I had cleared all three rounds, but in the end, they rejected me, stating they selected someone with more 'domain knowledge'.
I asked for proper feedback so I could identify areas for improvement. I received a feedback call invitation 15 days later. Their feedback was, 'Since you are excited to learn new stuff and we work on pre-decided tech, you don't seem like you would enjoy it.' This felt like a roundabout way of rejecting someone without appearing suspicious.

- 5.0Phenomenal culture and managementSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeTbilisiJanuary 18, 2026Pros: I couldn't be happier with my decision to join this team. The atmosphere is incredibly friendly and supportive; it feels more like a community than just a workplace. What truly stands out is the management. They are genuinely attentive to the needs of the engineers and foster an environment where everyone's voice is heard. Despite the company's impressive scale, I'm amazed at the agility. Decisions are made quickly and efficiently, with zero unnecessary bureaucracy. The working conditions are top-notch, and there is a real focus on professional growth. If you're looking for a place where you can actually build things without being slowed down by corporate hurdles, this is it!Cons: If I had to pick something to improve, I’d say the onboarding process is quite comprehensive. There is a lot of high-quality information to digest early on because the systems are sophisticated. It takes some focus and time to get fully up to speed, but the team is always there to help you through it.
