I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at AKUNA CAPITAL (Sydney) in Oct 2021
Interview
As the interviewers and the recruiter were very professional and polite it was a sheer pleasure to speak to them. Everyone sounded friendly and came to interviews on time (online). Honestly, the best recruiting process for the last several years. Even though, passing successfully all the stages of the process, I didn’t get an offer, I was positively impressed and amazed by their approach.
All the stages are described clearly on their website and they adhere the process.
What it worth mentioning, they don't give any silly coding challenges nor algorithm tasks to infrastructure (devops) engineer candidates. This clearly shows that whoever is responsible for composing questions are reasonable and sane people.
