Process
I applied through a recruiter.
Recruiters reached out to me twice, and both times proceeded to ghost me. I don't think I'll waste my time dealing with this company again as clearly they don't know what they're doing.

Pros: Work-life balance - there is no rush to finish things as of yesterday.

Best-in-class remuneration.
