I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at BrainRocket (Bucharest, Bucuresti) in Mar 2025
Interview
It was a disappointing experience. I started by greeting the interviewer and asking how his day was, but he immediately launched into explaining the structure of the interview in a very robotic manner. Mid-sentence, he seemed to realize he hadn't greeted me back and quickly added, "Nice to meet you, by the way."
I understand that there's a set timeframe, but in a 90-minute interview, taking just two minutes to properly introduce yourself and establish a positive environment can make a big difference. Instead, the entire interview felt cold and mechanical, creating a tense atmosphere. That discomfort affected my performance during the live coding session, as I felt pressured and on edge.

Interview with HR was quite well.
The next step is a HackerRank test, you should be with your camera on and it had the worst questions I've ever seen. 0 real usecases from work experience. It's disappointing that such a company attempts to filter candidates with such an absurd method
