I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at A5 Labs in Jun 2026
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me, I did some research and read the reviews below and asked the recruiter what he had to say about them. Nothing.
I went through the interview jsut to see what this scam looks like. An interviewer came on camera for less than a minute and then went off saying there was some glitch and better off just audio. Asked me talk about my experience first , then went through what A5 was all about and said I was a perfect fit, of course.
By this time the voice seemed like an AI bot , replying the same words and tone for all my questions.
After that he wanted to walk me through their code base for their product and asked ME to share screen to which I replied if you are showing me something I prefer you share your screen, Apparently they were away from their computer so I should share my screen. I said let's meet another time when he was at his computer. To which he says ok ok ..thank you bye ! and drops off!
I reported the recruiter to LinkedIn as spam and blocked them.

Question 1
Nothing of substance was asked, just to talk about my experience.
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.

"clone this repo, and share your screen": github - Afive-lab/AmonixPlay
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.
