TLDR - Not recommended.
The interview process consists of three stages:
- Initial screening with HR involving typical behavioural questions.
- Coding session.
- Meeting with the CEO.
I completed the first two stages. The HR screening was a standard 1-hour conversation with generic questions (e.g., 'describe the last time you had a conflict at work and how you resolved it').
The second stage was labeled a 'Live coding session.' The interviewer was late and experienced technical difficulties, not being able to use video. The interviewer, who seemed to be a non-technical HR contractor, provided a link to a GitHub repo with a poorly described code challenge. The session felt disorganised, with no clear expectations for the task. It essentially turned into a situation where I shared my screen and tried to decipher a poorly written boilerplate code on my own without any guidance or help from interviewer.
After a month, I received an auto-generated email stating that I didn't pass the stage, with no actual feedback provided.
It's worth noting that many interview and company reviews here are posted within a short timeframe (most of them posted in a single day), leading me to believe they may have engaged in some form of orchestrated positive social media marketing, preventing genuine negative reviews from surfacing.

Weird and invading my privacy, was good in general but not smooth and didn’t feel good while doing it, they should respect candidates privacy, it’s very disrespectful interview , first project was screen recorded all the time even when entering my git password

I applied for the job and received an automated email one minute later with a technical challenge using AI.
They provided a large repository for download and asked me to keep my webcam and screen recording active for 90 minutes (probably for training AI models).
They didn't provide any tools. You had to use your own tokens for the tests for 90 minutes without knowing if anyone was going to see them. Basically, that's what happened to everyone who left a review here.
I understand and like pair programming with AI, but doing it this way is impersonal, probably the worst way, and zero privacy-oriented. You never get feedback. It's one of the worst things I've seen this year.
Applied online on WTJ. Not 5 minutes after submitting your application *on a Sunday*, you receive an email that informs you that you made it ro the first round! Which is an automated cosing assessment. No human in the loop. No review of your application. They just want to give 90 minutes that you can't claim back without prior even checking that your expectations really mat h the role. "If all goes well, you'll talk with our CTO", they say. Two red flags: what is he measure of success? Why is the CTO involved at all? Looks to me like a bottlenecked process thatsjust a reflection of how they operate. Not a company I want to work with (not even for).
