Process

Was contacted via mail regarding job opening in UK. After initial phone screen (with couple of technical questions), we agreed on first phone technical interview. Didn't pass the technical screen - seems that TDD is not optional but a required approach.

Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

January 24, 2025

Pros: Incredible, exciting, beautiful business. Building an honest, legitimate product. Ignore the haters and critics – they are envious mediocrities. This product is helping millions of ordinary people get banked, control their money, build their wealth, and gain the financial and non-financial rewards of travel and global mobility.

Cons: You will be challenged to the maximum. The people are great, the business is great, but the work itself is very difficult and demanding. A Stoic attitude is recommended. Embrace hardships and make peace with the possibility of loss. But you will treasure any time spent in this company, if you value personal growth and strengthening yourself.
