I applied online. I interviewed at DataArt (Cluj-Napoca) in June 2025
Interview
there were three stages: English check, technical interview and project interview. In a technical interview, if you answer a question correctly, an even harder question comes, and then an even harder one on the same topic.

Thank you for sharing your experience during the interview process.
Our approach aims to assess both technical skills and project fit, which can sometimes mean that questions increase in difficulty. Your feedback is helpful as we work to improve the candidate experience.
We appreciate the time you invested and wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at DataArt (Buenos Aires) in July 2023
Interview
They don't give you feedback on the overall process. Their motto is people first, but precisely when you need a motto that says that is that people really do not come first in this company, if that were the case they would give some feedback during the process. I do not recommend this company.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DataArt (Belgrade, Central Serbia) in Mar 2022
Interview
Unlike others, my interview process was completely different from what I read here.
I can say that the whole process was very badly organized, from the HR to the technical interviewer.
I read here that interviewers are interested in what you did before and the way you did it.
In my case, there were no questions like that. The interviewer asked me just briefly what could I say about my previous experiences and the current project I work on at the moment. After one minute, he interrupted me to move to technical questions, which was the first very unpleasant moment, but there were more to come.
I signed up as a Full Stack (Angular + .Net) Developer, not a Front-end developer.
Even though, I was told that I will be interviewed by an "Angular Expert". But, I was interviewed by an employee who is an expert only in Javascript.
Although I said several times that I didn't know JavaScript, he was forcing Javascript questions and coding tasks in JS.
When we finally moved on to Angular questions, it was even more disappointing because he asked some basic questions that you can find when you type in Google "top 10 Angular interview questions", without going in-depth about any of these questions.
Then we moved back to JavaScript questions again. For most of the questions I tried to give answers, but there was no point when I know only the essence of JS.
In the end, we spent like 5 minutes where he was reading a long list of technologies on which I should answer if I used any of these and for how long (like Vue, React, etc.).
I felt like he didn't even look at my resume, where was all the needed information about what I did and which technologies I used.
After all, I was informed that they do not have a matching project for me, which I found strange as their initial story was that they need all sorts of employees, no matter their experience level and position.
If you aren't interested or I do not match on any level, you should tell. Not promising that you will call as soon as you find a suitable project.
To wrap up, one very unpleasant experience. I hope that is only my case and that all these positive reviews are not fake, or pumped up.
Good luck
