Kraken interview questions

Pros: interview process straightforward, feedback after each round Cons: agreed on a minimum salary expectation from the 1st conversation as a condition to move forward, after a full round of interview process which lasted 1 month, I was offered a package which was 20k less than the amount from 1st conversation, because "non direct experience in the energy industry" - I was quite confused because this information was clear on my CV from the get go. Low balling at last round is not professional, other industry experiences not considered is not reasonable. If they told me this salary from the start, I would have said "thank you, but no" - I guess waste of time on both sides. It's a shame since I really believed in their mission and culture. But I guess interview process could be looked like as a reflection of the "chaotic side" they mentioned in their culture.

One of the smoothest interview processes I've ever had. First phase was an initial touchpoint with the Talent Adquisition person, where the expectations from both sides were stablished. The second part was an interview with 2 future peers to talk about the company and the candidate's background. I felt that this interview also contributed as a cultural fit. The third phase was a technical challenge in Python to do it on your own, with an estimated completion time of 3h. The fourth, and last, phase was a review of the proposed solution along with technical questions about the reasons behind each decision, and open to hear alternatives for more production-ready scenarios. In this case there were 3 interviewers in the call.
