Fair assessment, clear and prompt communication

Pros

Throughout the entire process, communication was very clear and timely. The technical assessment was fairer and in my opinion more accurate. Rather than requiring an live coding challenge, a take-home challenge was provided with a follow-up live review. This removes the high pressure anxiety aspect of completing most coding challenges while still allowing the employer to assess the interviewees understanding of the work and thought process behind the submission.

Cons

Interviewing with Kraken was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. And this reflects the values that I have learned this company lives and breathes: fairness, appreciation, and trust.
