Technical test - build a mobile wallet solution. Quite heavy for a technical test - 8/10 hours work. About a week later, the recruiter made me aware that 4 engineers liked my submission and that I needed to add a further person to the git repository. The interview process ended here as the additional username was not received or communicated.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thunes in Sep 2022
Interview
1. Call with recruiter to discuss the position and talk about my past experience. 2. Interview with a tech lead and another engineer. 3. Take home assignment where I needed to build an API in Go (they said it should take 5h but you could easily spend double the time). I was told the average time to deliver the assignment was one week but when I was sent the instructions I was asked if I could finish it in one weekend. I said I couldn't because I had some previous commitments. A little after a week I sent the assignment and I notified the recruiter. I was told it would be reviewed ASAP but I didn't hear back from them again so it ended being a waste of time.
