The people: talented, humble, fun, and caring (for the most part).
The environment: great city, culture, offices, and perks (coffee, lunch, beer, events, flexible hours, unlimited holidays <3).
The product: loved by the customers, flexible enough to improve/extend, and still growing in usage and popularity.
The management:
Hard work goes unrecognized. Doing next to no work seems acceptable at times. There's a general lack of awareness from leadership and management.
The opportunities:
Decision-making is not really a team consensus. Constant hiring of seniors means it's hard to progress. Pushing through your own ideas is tough.
For a software company, I think there are way too few software development teams. Focus on hiring designers/developers before other roles to help balance the ratio.
Implement a solid assessment system and take actions on good/bad results (why did we stop the 360 reviews?!).
Try to unite the two offices and improve on the remote culture.
Good luck!
Usual first screening rounds. Technical test with practical exercises similar to the product they develop, like pair programming, in an online IDE. Finally, there are culture fit interviews.
- Chat with the team leader about work organization and software best practices. - Live coding session with two software engineers, covering three questions: - Logic of a React application - CSS styling After the live coding, I was congratul
Overall, a very straightforward process. The first round was an intro call with the recruiter, followed by the technical round. The tech round presented a real-use case: create an app using AI. It was a significant challenge to complete in 1.5 hour
