It was a straightforward interview process asking about key metrics like average deal size and sales cycle. Since it's a 100% channel organization, they asked about experience with local and national VARs. I went through an initial recruiter call, then met with my potential manager, and finally the VP for the final sign-off.

I spoke with HR and then the Director of Product Design. They had me do a take-home assignment that was supposed to take 5-6 hours but was way more. I had to submit an unprotected Figma file with designs for their app, improving a part of it. After all that work, they rejected me with generic feedback that was just like their description of my work. It felt like they were using the hiring process for free work and ideas. Companies should pay for big assignments or give real feedback. Job seekers, be careful about unpaid work, and companies need to be accountable for wasting people's time.

The whole hiring thing was super easy from start to finish. I applied on LinkedIn and a recruiter called me back in a few days. We talked about my resume and some usual recruiter questions. Then I chatted with the hiring manager a few days after that. After that, it was just a bunch of simple calls, no tests or presentations. Everyone I spoke with was great and really into the company. I'd totally recommend this place.

Applied for a role in Tallinn, Estonia and had a really bad experience. Started with a good HR call. Then a technical interview with two developers who seemed to struggle with English and the questions they were asking. Had to sign an NDA that followed US laws despite applying in Estonia. The technical questions felt like they were pulled from a script or ChatGPT, and they expected exact answers without understanding the concepts themselves. The developers seemed to have a language barrier in English. Also, the answers they gave to my questions about their applications were not good.
