Good interview, kinda hard questions on statistical algorithm's. They are looking for real programmers with computation skills. This place is for nerds for sure. This place is good from working environment perspective
Very pleasant interview with very polite interviewer and recruiter. The entire process was remote, and only 3 interviewees. Each interview had both technical and behavioral questions. Overall a very enjoyable process.

3 separate interviews, 2 in greek one in english. Asked me the exact same technical questions, rephrased, although I mentioned already in my CV that my knowledge in the desired technology is limited.
