Interview
First there was a call with Veronique, the people manager at N5. Thereafter a more technical interview at their offices took place, again with Veronique and another engineer. After this interview I got an assignment to complete for which I had 1 week time. After 1 week a final interview was scheduled with Veronique and Thomas, head of engineering, where an offer was made.

Interview
The solicitation took around 3 interviews. The first one was on the phone with the internal recruiter. The second one on zoom ( but will likely for you be in person). The internal recruiter asked general questions about past experiences and applications I had made. Also some technical questions regarding React. After this interview they sent me a test which I could make on my own pace but with a maximum of 4 hours that I could spend on it.
After this came an on person interview together with the CTO and internal recruiter. I did not get a job offer. The reasons they gave were
1. I still lack skills in typescript (which to me doesn't seem that big of a deal as this can be learned and in a short amount of time
2. Their project can go up to one year and they though it would be problematic for me. ( Which is not the case as I do expect projects to be this long and this isn't really an issue)
I think there is another reason for why they really rejected me which is.
1. I rejected working on any projects that greatly impact society negatively. (Alcohol / smoking / gambling)
2. I pushed them to give me a job offer since I had another company waiting for my response to their job offer.
The internal recruiter and CTO were very kind. And I have no doubt that working in N5 will be a great experience. So anyone that is reading this review do not be discouraged and shoot your shot.

Interview
In line with the UX/UI Designer experience, having a non-Flemish name and surname might be one of the missing skills for the company.
The process was basically one phone call and after presenting my profile to the Director of Product (s)he refused even to meet me, I asked for feedback including these missing skills that made other candidates more appealing and did not have a reply, but as I mentioned before... non-Flemish name and surname is an important one.
Curious enough the company is international...
