Process
The face-to-face interview with the hiring manager was very relaxed. They asked some technical questions and some questions about soft skills and work ethic, etc. It was overall a great experience; it mostly went over my CV.

Cons: - Top-down approach to management.
- Really hard to get promoted or even to switch teams.
