Colloquio
I was interviewed twice - Oct 2024 and June 2025. Did not even make it to the second stage. Reject with generic response. IMO I came across quite well both times, also described my understanding of their business and asked right questions. Honestly, given that, seeing the same positions all year around, I would say that most of their positions are ghost positions. They do not hire anyone. So don't recommend to waste your time.

Colloquio
Long story short: waste of your time 4 phases in total: – HR call (30 min) – home assignment (up to 5 days) – technical interview (situational questions + assignment discussion) (1 hour) – cultural fit (?) HR call: It started with an HR call first. During those 30 minutes, you will be asked dozens of questions that are not relevant to the agenda of that call (all the possible kinds of behavioral questions that are typically being asked on the cultural fit) and there's no guarantee you'll have a chance to ask questions yourself. The only thing they want to hear from you is: What is your salary? Is it negotiable? Home assignment: After that call, they'll send you a link to a GitHub with the assignment (you can easily google the solutions on GitHub or elsewhere on the internet). When you're done with the assignment - they should review it and leave some comments (which has not happened in my case) Technical interview: The interviewers were nice and friendly, I have no complaints about them. 30-40 minutes they will ask you situational questions, like what is the good code, tell me about the most challenging thing on your project, etc. Then they spend 10 minutes discussing your solution and providing some comments or asking questions. Overall I felt it was going well. After the interview, a recruiter reached out saying that they are ready to move further, but not with a Senior role but with a middle (I assume with the cut of half of the compensation) which was super weird for me to hear considering the easiness of the home task + how the tech interview went. Overall I have a feeling that they are ready to pay something below the average on the market and their main audience are the expats who are looking for visa support and relocation at any cost.

Implement a method for reading from the input (Java IO, System.in, or just basically a file), mapping that input into objects, and writing those objects to the output (System.out). You can use any library of your choice to solve that problem
