The application process started with a 20-minute call during which I introduced myself and talked about previous projects and the technologies I knew. Then the recruiter gave me details about the position and team. In this case, a role as a junior front-end developer in the Statista Q team. The next step was a take-home assignment. I had the weekend to complete this task and send my proposal. Two days after submitting my code, I had a 30-minute interview with the team lead. A week after the first one, I had another 60-minute talk with two more team members. During this whole process, I felt comfortable and valued. The team listened carefully to my ideas and proposals and gave me feedback on my assignment. Even though I was not chosen for the position, the experience was enriching and I would happily apply again.
