Interview
It’s a simple interview process, barely asked any questions relating to the role. Two stage interview process, first on teams and the other in person. From application to offer was under 2 weeks.
Interview mostly had to do with my previous experiences and what I can expect at the company. It was in person and there were two senior engineers involved. Overall it was a decent interview with much emphasis on the project.

Interview
Ridiculous, Psychometric test bordering on astrology for a pot luck at moving on to the next stage with a follow up email to tell you how useless and lazy you are. Dont bother wasting your time with this disrespectful company.
No chance to showcase my experiences and abilities, Ruled out by a computer that clearly knows better than any human yet again.
