Process
Sent my application through their job portal. Had a first discussion online with the recruiter. Passed an online exam.
After that, as I had another offer and needed to give them a final answer within a week, I asked my recruiter if the process could be done within one week (4 interviews left). He made it!
- Technical interview with two software engineers
- Product interview with two product managers
- Motivation interview with a Tech Lead (it could have been an Engineering VP as well, but none was available within my timeframe)
At that point, the recruiter told me they would make an offer.
- Last step: call to inform me about the final offer!

- 4.0Good Work, Low WagesSenior Android Developer • Former EmployeeSpain, Georgia, United StatesSeptember 4, 2025Pros: International and other stuff, good.Cons: Wages are not so high.
- 5.0Supportive Culture, Great BalanceSoftware Engineer - Java Developer • Current EmployeeBudapest, Central Hungary, HungaryJanuary 13, 2022Pros: Really good culture, which supports individual decision-making and helping each other out. I've never had somebody who worked only for their benefits and tried to get ahead of others. Everybody works on the same thing – the mission of the company. People are welcoming and hardworking, and they expect the same from everybody. The work-life balance is great, though. Working overtime is discouraged and avoided most of the time. The hierarchy is mostly flat, and the CxOs are also very friendly; they even initiate some chit-chat in the office.Cons: Cannot really mention any which is specific to the company.
- 4.0Ownership, Great Colleagues, Hectic SupportProduct Engineer • Current EmployeeTallinn, EstoniaMarch 19, 2024Pros: Engineers have the ownership and responsibility of enhancing the product's features. They also have the opportunity of working with fantastic colleagues and a diverse group of individuals.Cons: On-call issues and support seem to be hectic.
