After applying for the role I received a c++ code test on which I worked for a week. Then we had a Skype interview where they told they liked the job I did in the test but I was not the profile they were looking for.

Amazing people. Amazing discussions. Great questions. Fun anecdotes and just great all around. I had 2 interviews that should've spanned 30 minutes but both went over an hour, mostly due to the fun discussions and anecdotes shared after the main technical and background questions.
