Process
I was scheduled for a chat with a recruiter from Europe.
This was changed last minute for someone from India instead, who spoke poor English and was reading from a script.
They included a few technical questions.
The whole thing felt mechanical and impersonal.
Questions
They asked basic data structure questions, such as:
- Dictionary access time complexity in Python
- Bubble sort time complexity
They also asked about other basic facts that were already listed on my resume and LinkedIn.
Was this helpful?

Going great so far

Pros: Everything from interviews to working my first months here was super smooth. The interviewers were very friendly and helpful, and didn't really mind if I messed up some minor things as long as I was thinking on the right path and logic. On the inside, it's a big team of very talented, skilled, and organized people, so it's a treat to be able to spend time with them and feel like I have the opportunity to learn a lot.
Cons: Honestly, I can't think of anything major at the moment to consider a con.

Pros: If you have nice performance reviews (which is possible), you'll make money.
Technical complexity is challenging, and you can learn a lot.
Work-life balance exists, and you can have all your vacations and day-offs without any problem.
Company with a very good potential.
Cons: Many things depend on your team and department, not on your actual performance.
You have to work a lot and nothing is guaranteed to you.
Your burn-out starts immediately or in a couple of months after you join and just never ends.
