Process
The interview was technical. I had to solve a coding problem in my preferred language.
I chose Java.
The question was not very difficult to solve, and the interviewer was there to guide me.
Questions
I don't remember the exact coding challenge.

Best place to work!
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Dublin, Leinster, Ireland
August 29, 2020
Pros: Great people and engineering culture, very competitive compensation, growth opportunities, and interesting projects.
Before COVID, it was also lots of fun, with events, communities and groups, international trips, and other things which helped you enjoy.
Nowadays, the company really supports people during the COVID crisis and tries to keep the community during these difficult times. Really appreciate it!
Cons: Nothing, really. As a growing company, it has some challenges like lack of processes. It is not always clear who owns which part or who should do what. Eventually, it is all up to people to organize themselves, and surprisingly, it works.
Sometimes, we're moving too fast and then have to step back or close some gaps in technical debt.
But I think the company sees these problems and approaches them extremely efficiently.
