Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks.
The interview process went very smoothly and was one of the fastest I've experienced. The whole process took less than three weeks. There were three stages:
- An initial screening call.
- A take-home assignment with a week to prepare and present to two developers.
- A final interview with two senior engineering managers.
Feedback was very quick throughout, and what I appreciated most were the follow-up calls with Marie-Lucile after each stage to share detailed feedback. Overall, it was a really great candidate experience.

- 3.0Remote work option but lacking quality assuranceSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeePorto, OportoOctober 2, 2026Pros: - remote work - friendly work envirormentCons: - There was a lack of QA and pressure to build.
- 5.0Great place to work!Software Engineer • Current EmployeeJanuary 14, 2023Pros: Company culture is fantastic. Founders come from Booking and they try to apply Booking culture and values @ Pennylane. That created a special treat for employees. You're really appreciated and respected in each way. Good work life balance. No overtime if you don't really insist :) A chance to work with really good people and learn from senior engineers a lot. Gatherings at Paris 5-6 times per year They treat remote people the same as employees from France.Cons: Tech staff grew from 50 to 100 people in 2022 so now the product is quite huge and there are a lot of new people, but this can always be an advantage since it offers learning opportunities.
