I had concerns about the company’s work/life balance during the interview. The CTO’s comment, ‘We used to think of something in the morning and deploy it until nightfall,’ was particularly telling. It was shared with a sense of nostalgia, which made me question whether long hours and a relentless pace are still the norm. This sentiment left me with reservations about how sustainable the work environment might be, especially when it comes to maintaining a healthy balance between professional and personal life.

First, I had an interview with the CEO. Then, I had to complete a take-home project where I had to build a full-stack application. It would take at least 40 hours to complete for a junior to mid-level developer. After that, there was a technical interview to go over my solution. Lastly, an HR interview for salary negotiation.
