I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at A5 Labs in May 2026
Interview
Scam, or hacked/imposter hard to tell which. They attempted to trick me into installing malware from their git repo: github - Afive-lab/AmonixPlay (different repo than the previous reviewer below so they are obviously getting reported, and just re-pushing to a fresh scam repo)
Recruiter cold connected with me, before even meeting recruiter she set me up with a meeting with this "manager" no linkedin page or anything for him, and within 5 mins of the interview start, he tells me "rather than talk about our product, why don't I show you, please share your FULLSCREEN and clone this repo..." I say I'm not comfortable running unknown code outside of a container/VM I asked if we would be willing to share from his side instead, he refused strongly with more pressure.
The cherry on top, was that there was a open PR to their git repo that was titled "malware! do not clone" to which I showed him and asked for details, which he ignored then hung up the call.
do not fall for this, and please report them (or at least the malicious repo) for fraud.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at A5 Labs (Tallinn) in May 2026
Interview
I think this company is either identity theft or scam to infect your computer.
On LinkedIn a recruiter contacted me and sent a Calendly invite. The call on the next day was from, what appeared to be, an AI agent. There was initial video and then we switched to voice only. The call was very monologue like and had glitches, and was somehow repetitive.
Then they wanted me to clone a repository: https://github.com/A5-Lab-Hub/AmonixPlay.git I proposed to review the code online, they refused and then ended the call.
