Process
I applied through another source. The process took three weeks.
Overall, the interview itself wasn't bad. The interviewer was fine, and the interview wasn't particularly difficult. However, I encountered a very uncooperative recruiter, which made the overall interview process unpleasant. They didn't inform me in advance about a canceled schedule, so I had to reschedule, and despite me saying the proposed time didn't work, they became unresponsive. While the interview itself was not bad, the scheduling aspect made the overall experience feel unfriendly and frustrating.

- 5.0Great people, real autonomy, and fully remote workSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeOctober 21, 2026Pros: Competitive compensation, fully remote work, and some of the strongest people I’ve worked with. There’s a lot to learn from colleagues, and I really value the autonomy to take initiative and get things done without unnecessary layers of approval. The company adapts quickly to market changes, and we have access to the AI tools we need. The pace and freedom to act are big positives for me.Cons: Working hours can sometimes be irregular, particularly when serious incidents require attention outside normal hours. Flexibility works both ways, and that can occasionally be challenging. Regulatory requirements can also bring fixed deadlines with little room for adjustment, making some periods more intense.
