Process
Two rounds of behavior. Met with the recruiter, then passed on to the director of the department. After that, was passed a technical interview with one of the developers. It felt more like a code review/debugging session than an interview.
Questions
Reviewing a merge request and providing detailed comments on ways you can improve the code.

First days, but so far, what an amazing onboarding
Backend Engineer • Current Employee
Amsterdam, Netherlands
August 7, 2019
Pros: The company and your colleagues take care of your soft landing into the company (and the remote work) with simple things like:
* Calls with your manager and the onboarding buddy.
* Breakout calls.
* A self-explained and step-by-step onboarding (using GitLab).
* And everything is documented, so you can learn at your own pace.
Cons: Partially doing single sign-on, which implies a lot of work to set up online accounts on your first days.
