Midokura interview questions

The interview process consists of: - HR call - Quick tech call - Take-home test - 4 interviews: 2 software engineer, 1 machine learning, 1 Culture fit I delivered my take-home test and got positive feedback. I received an e-mail from HR asking for my availability for the next steps, which I answered. However, 5 days later I received another e-mail saying they already found a candidate. I can only talk about the take-home test: - It's a software engineer post yet you have to train a neural network - They say it takes 4 hours yet it doesn't. I've used every single technology in the stack and I can guarantee it doesn't take only 4 hours to do everything. Specially because their code has bugs as it is, which means they haven't even run it before passing it for interviews. - After working for several days on the take-home, they ghost me for a few days and then reject me. This implies they don't care about your time. If you have advanced candidates you should warn applicants. Overall, after this treatment, I wouldn't apply to this company again.

I was contacted by a local HR company, and they introduced the role to me. Next we proceeded with a Coding Challenge on HackerRank. I had to solve 2 coding problems with medium difficulty in 2 hours. After that we had an intro talk with Midokura's HR. We discussed the role, expectations, and well the next steps which consisted in a interview day with multiple interviews. The interview day consisted from 4 separate interviews, each lasting one hour: - the 1st interview was a review of the coding challenge + 1 coding problem - the 2nd one was a System Design interview with two engineers - the 3rd one was a talk with two of their DevOps engineers, about CI/CD, networking, container orchestration, fault tolerance and similar concepts - the last one was a non-technical / interpersonal talk with the Director of Engineering They came back with a positive feedback in about a business day, and they decided to make an offer. I received an offer letter in about 2 weeks. In the meantime, I also requested an additional talk with a VP, to clarify some product vision and organizational aspects. Unfortunately, I was not quite convinced, so in the end I decided to decline their offer. Otherwise, from a financial point of view, the offer was relatively good.
