Process
It was just the standard phone interview, covering my background, resume, and interests. The interviewer was about 10 minutes late calling me, but was really nice. They got back to me with their decision in like 3 days.

High paying but pretentious
Application Engineer • Current Employee
Amsterdam, Netherlands
February 4, 2025
Pros: Many talented colleagues.
Great compensation (salary, bonus, massages, good coffee, decent food 3 times a day).
Cons: Claims ‘people are key,’ however:
* Compensation is often used as an excuse to be treated badly.
* More than once, you are reminded that tech doesn’t earn the money. What trading wants, trading gets.
More so, there’s a lot of focus towards public appearance, while internally there are only eyes on how to make more money.
