I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Remitly (Kraków) in Apr 2023
Interview
The interview was done by not very experienced technical interviewers. Questions coming from 2 out of 3 stages were not clear and not clarified later after my request. Some of the requirements also changed magically during an interview pointing me in the wrong direction. The interviewer's hints were also misleading and did not target the answer they wanted to get. Overall it was not an interview for a senior software engineer - more junior or mid position which was again misleading. I guess it might be hard to work with people when they can't communicate clearly.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Remitly (New Westminster, BC) in Sep 2025
Interview
Recruiter schedules, cancels, reschedules, cancels again. It's a chaos to get an interview in this company. It took more than six weeks to finally talk to the recruiter for the first time. Same experience in scheduling a technical interview. Then they disappear. No feedback, no rejection.

Interview
Typical interview process: screening with HM, 3 technical interviews, another screening with the HM. Overall it was okay, except for the interviews with the HM. For the first one, he was late and hadn't seem to have read my resume, needing to read it as the meeting started. For the second one, he asked all the same questions he had a week or so before. He seemed unengaged and was asking such highly specific questions about solving their specific technical problems that it made me wonder if the listing is even real at all, especially given how old it was. In either case, he didn't communicate what he was asking well and I was frustrated that it seemed like he didn't understand what I was saying. All the other interviewers were top notch and well prepared.

Question 1
Typical STAR questions (which by the way, always expect a certain answer, which is why they are widely considered poor and outdated practice). Don't ask "tell me a time when X" when X is not a usual thing most people will have experienced. You'll just get lies as responses! And no, you won't be able to tell!
Recruiter call, asked a bit about my experience and explained what the team is currently doing on. They are planning to expand in Vancouver seems like. After the call, didnt hear back from the recruiter. And after a while got a rejection email.
