The interview process followed the typical series of interviews: screen, technical, system design and culture fit, then references check and offer. Interviewers were all exceptionally friendly but of mixed level of apparent skills.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at balena (London, England) in May 2020
Interview
Pretty quick and kept me in the loop during the whole process. Given a take home assignment that was related to the types of projects their customers work on. Followed up with 3 more meetings with an engineer then CTO then COO.
