I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Polarsteps in Sept 2024
Interview
I had a good interview experience, The HR round was smooth, and the initial tech round was great too, The interviewers were warm and asked decent questions that were reasonably challenging. Although I didn't get an offer, I still enjoyed talking to the team. HR was kind to provide feedback on how the team made their decision and I was okay with it. I enjoyed a hot nutritious meal onsite and also got gifted a EUR100 Amazon gift card after the interview for the hassle.
