Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took two weeks.
Their internal recruitment team was super helpful, really responsive, and provided great coordination to set up interviews with different team members. The process starts with an HR call, then they give you a tech assignment, and you have a week to complete it. The technical interview is around the assignment, and after that, you are invited to a culture fit interview.
Everyone I met during the process was super helpful. The interviews felt conversational and tested your thinking and decision-making more than your knowledge. I really enjoyed the process with them, 10/10.
Questions
They asked about the decisions you have taken in the app that you prepare. They also asked about how to make improvements on certain parts of your code.

- 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.
