Interview
I got contacted by them through a recruiter via email. asked me to give them 3 available dates. the review was in English with a guy from London. The guy was nice.
It was pretty good, normal SWE process with fundamentals, lc coding and culture fit. I got interviewed for 5 rounds with ppl from different countries, they were nice but I did not get the offer then.
Talked with several developers, in two rounds, and with the head of the office at the end. It was overall a pleasant experience, interviewers were friendly and were open to questions about the job and the company.
