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?

Fast Impact, Flexible Hours
Backend Engineer • Current Employee
London, England, United Kingdom
March 27, 2020
Pros: Fast-paced environment where you can see your impact from the very start. Amazing perks and nice startup culture. You will find snacks and drinks stocked all day in the kitchen. You will feel inclusiveness in the company with stock options.
Cons: Sometimes, you have to work for more than 8 hours, but honestly, it totally depends on you. I am still in my probation period, and there were days when I worked even less than 8, so it is totally up to you how you manage your time and their expectations from you. I would say you have to be an A player if you want to work normal hours and deliver at the same time.

It's okay, but the pressure is high
Backend Engineer • Current Employee
Porto, Oporto, Portugal
August 11, 2025
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.

It was a great experience
Backend Engineer • Former Employee
London, England, United Kingdom
March 22, 2023
Pros: Interesting work, fast-paced environment, very competent colleagues, remote-first. At the time, very good stock compensation (no longer the case, but nowadays salaries are higher).
Cons: From time to time, the workload was very high. Product people especially were let go if they didn't perform.
