Recruiter screen, then a take home coding challenge. Completed the challenge and submitted it. Was told I'd hear back within a week & instead ghosted me. Complete waste of time.

Application
I applied through Indeed. The process took 1 month. I interviewed at Kraken (UK) in Feb 2025
Interview
1st stage: Had a chat with a wonderful recruiter, set the stage for the whole interview process. Discussions about the company structure, team I would be working it, salary expectations and general question regarding motivation for joining the team.
2nd stage: Take home test. A django command line app for parsing file(s). Here, they evaluate you on taking on an ambiguous task and providing a scalable solution. Document your assumptions properly.
3rd stage: Further technical discussion about the task. Discussing approach, decisions taken and tradeoffs. How can the app be extended.
4th stage: The final stage. Focuses on your technical skills and the wider Python/Django ecosystem—discussions around ways of working.
After the last interview, the offer came within 30 minutes.
I really enjoyed working with my recruiter (Brad). He was super supportive.

Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Kraken (París) en nov 2025
Entrevista
Le processus d'embauche est très straightforward:
1. Un appel en visio RH
2. Un test technique à faire à la maison (3-4h) en Python, Django
3. Un appel en visio avec 2 ingénieurs pour discuter du test technique et des possibles améliorations
4. Un appel en visio avec 2 personnes de l'équipe (team fit)
Toutes les personnes que j'ai rencontrées lors de ces entretiens ont été très bienveillantes. Le processus est transparent et très rapide. J'ai eu des retours le lendemain de chaque entretien. Les retours peuvent prendre 1 semaine au maximum. J'ai aussi reçu un document qui expliquait tout ce processus, contrairement à d'autres entreprises où le processus peut être flou et long, donc c'était une agréable surprise. Franchement ce type de processus humain est très rafraîchissant, merci la team Talent Acquisition. De plus, la Talent Acquisition Specialist était au top, très à l'écoute et réactive.
