Process
Codility. Two questions. LeetCode medium level.
Then an interview, a group of two. Not technical, just matching.
The ugly part: they changed my job title halfway. I applied for something else, and they changed my position and told me DURING THE INTERVIEW!! So I trolled them.

Pros: Great place to kickstart your career with ample learning opportunities.
Cons: May not offer long-term growth for those looking to stay beyond a few years. The company often locks employees in with lower base salaries and special bonuses that must be repaid if you leave within a certain number of years. This could limit your flexibility if you're considering other opportunities down the line.
