Hiring process was very slow.
Applies last week of May. After a month, got an interview with HR.
2 months after the interview with HR and 2 follow-ups, got a response that my application wasn't successful.
If you don't have photonics technology background, which by the way wasn't included on the job requirements they posted, I discourage you to apply even if you have the skills listed on their requirements. Else, wait 3 months just to receive rejection :) :) :)

I had four rounds of interviews with the hiring manager, tech lead, and cross-functional teams. coding round is not there but they dig deep into concepts. The interview process was slow, It took me one and half month to get a offer from my first call.

Had an initial video interview with the HR located in Netherlands. Comes back to me in just over a week and says you are our top candidate and we are really interested in hiring you, even after telling them I already accepted another offer who were quick and treated me like I am their first choice. Was asked to have a phone call with the hiring manager to see if it can influence my decision and better understand the role, but the hiring manager never called at an agreed date and time. Very disrespectful and unprofessional. Seems like there is a communication gap between NL and UK branches. Don’t take this company seriously.
