Very pleasant process, hr screening, second round of interview with department managers, which will also be technical, then interview with the head of hr and finally a short interview with the CEO. Exellent culture and working environment, as far as I have seen from the process. application goes through the system where you leave personal info as well as salary expectations. The only complaint is that in the end I received an offer that was well below my minimum, which they knew from the application, and again asked me to verbally confirm in the third round of interviews. for this reason I declined the offer.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CETIN (Prague) in June 2024
Interview
This interview experience deviated significantly from the typical corporate format. There was no HR representative present, and the interview structure resembled a startup environment. A panel of senior developers conducted a one-hour initial questions followed by a two-hour session focused on technical skills and problem-solving exercises based on their past interview experiences. It subsequently became clear that the team consisted of old colleagues-friends, backed up by managers, tasked with developing a specific long-term system for this company and nothing else they care about. Their decision-making appeared autonomous, with a focus on technical expertise rather than a holistic understanding of the candidate's fit within the broader company. Atmosphere was quite OK, but it was unclear whether they were fully aware of the specific company they were ultimately working for.
