Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week.
The recruiter told me to prep:
- algorithms
- data structures
- space/time complexity
- concurrency
All in Java. I do Swift. I emailed to ask if it'd actually be in Java, and never got a reply. Spent days preparing for something completely different, then walked in and it was nothing like what I'd been told. The exercise was actually fine and kind of interesting, but I was thrown off from the start. Everyone was friendly enough—the recruiter just clearly had no clue what the interview was going to involve.

Good product and diverse environment
iOS Engineer • Former Employee
Tallinn, Estonia
July 9, 2023
Pros: Product Engineer, involved in the product a lot.
Autonomous.
Company benefits.
Transparency.
Business trip.
Cons: Despite all the positive things:
* One man rules the entire rules/codebase. If we disagree with him, then you're going to suffer, no matter what code you are trying to improve or to help the team. If it's against this one guy, you get a bad report to your direct manager.
* You're stuck on boring stuff, with limited chances to grow. Every time you propose an idea, 10 people agree, but one senior guy disagrees, and then it's abandoned.
* No QA. You are the QA.
Overall, a good place to work if you want to improve your product mindset.
