Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.
I went through the HackerRank test and am still waiting for my score. The test was fine. I also got extra time, after asking for it, for a special condition. They were very understanding and inclusive also with my different educational path.
Questions
It was a medium LeetCode-style question and a REST API task.
