Lengthy 4-hour take-home, building a very simple app with Django/Python. Vague negative feedback, stiff & cranky interviewers. The project was easy, albeit lengthy, it makes me think they hired internally.

My interview experience at Kraken was pragmatic and efficient 4 steps process. Each stage was designed to be comfortable. This allows me to speak freely about my experience and motivations. It began with an initial call with hiring team who clearly outlined the entire process, setting a positive tone from the start. The 2nd was a work-from-home case study, which I was given time to prepare at my own pace (3-4hrs). After selection, I've presented my work. This was an opportunity to showcase my understanding and have a nice talk with technical team. The final stage was a chance to speak about my future role and see if it fits for all. A good step to talk about any subject related to this position : the company, team work, etc. What I appreciated most was the pragmatic nature of the process. There were no long waits between steps, and I had a final decision within a month. Fortunately, it all led to an offer! I'm now incredibly eager to start at a company that seems like a fantastic place for passionate people.
