Interview
They blocked my claiming plagiarism on a 3 hour exam. No explanation as to how they concluded that and no recourse for me. 2 years later I still can't apply to anything.
I definitely wouldn't recomend you to anyone, not even my worst enemy.

Interview
The interview process has been structured and professional so far. It started with the initial application and screening, followed by an online coding assessment with algorithm-style questions focused on correctness, edge cases, and problem solving under time pressure. After completing that stage, I was invited to schedule a live technical interview. Communication has been clear, with detailed instructions about the interview format, environment requirements, screen sharing, and expectations around working without external assistance. The process feels rigorous and time-sensitive,.
