Process
I applied online. The process took two months.
There were two rounds: one code review and the other one was also a technical round where there were questions related to microservices. I cleared both the rounds and got an email that they would extend the offer, requesting some documents to be shared. But, after sharing the documents, there was no response, and they haven't replied to the email.
Questions
Basic System Design questions: microservices, idempotency.

Tide Work Experiences

Promising future but surprisingly cheap
Backend Engineer • Current Employee
Belgrade, Central Serbia
March 10, 2025
Pros: Growing company, great tech stack, good practices, lots of potential for learning.
Cons: For a company that is doing well financially, some behaviour is unexpected. For example, equipment budget works in a way that they will cover 50% of the cost up to 100 EUR every 3 years. Also, while having small and controlled raises is kind of expected in a corporation, they've reduced all increases by 3% this year.
They do pay those 3% still as a "bonus", but it doesn't affect your next increase (it doesn't accumulate). So if you're joining Tide, be sure to negotiate the salary that will work for you for a while. If you do that so you can just focus on work, I think you can be happy here.

Great place to work, but can be frustrating sometimes
Software Engineer A2 • Current Employee
London, England
August 11, 2024
Pros: There was flexible working, good pay, fully remote work, and super smart and friendly coworkers.
Cons: Progression within the business can be difficult. Many developers that should be promoted are not.
Tide doesn't have anything in place to support their remote workers to attend events to socialise.
