Interview
They give you a take home challenge which is relevant to their actual work. It's not some random Leetcode problems, it's very related to the every day software engineering problems and it requires thinking and planning.

Interview
The interview process with Kraken Technologies was smooth, supportive, and well-structured. It started with a quick and straightforward HR screening, followed by a take-home assignment that felt relevant and fair. Next was a technical interview focused on discussing the assignment, with thoughtful questions that didn't add unnecessary pressure. Finally, I had a friendly team call to ensure a good fit. Throughout, the team was responsive, clear, and supportive, focusing on real skills rather than creating stress. A great experience overall!

Interview
First stage HR call, followed by a take home task, recommended time 3h. Feedback was very nit-picky and focussed on things that weren’t predictive of engineering ability in my opinion. I then asked some follow-up questions and was ignored. I’d say don’t waste your time applying here.
