Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took three weeks.
- An initial meeting with a recruiter.
- A meeting with the team leader.
- A technical exercise to test your abilities.
- A technical meeting with the team engineers.
- A final corporate values meeting I didn't get to.
The interviews were not very hard. One of them had to be postponed because the recruiter missed it. After passing four interviews, I got a rejection email without any explanation. I had to ask, and they told me they hired someone else.

Stimulating and challenging, but heavy on red tape

Pros: You're constantly challenged. It's a stimulating environment where you keep learning.
Cons: It can get pretty heavy. There's a lot of red tape, and it's hard to get things merged. Restructurings and layoffs happen often, so you never know when your turn will come.
