I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Backbase
Interview
It was a very long process with talking to HR manager > Tech Test > Tech Lead > 2 Managers/Directors.
All parts of the process but the last part were really good with great communication and positive attitude.
The last interview (final one) was very weird to say so, as it supposed to be a check for cultural fit and it was uncomfortable because they seemed 'away' most of the interview.

Question 1
Task was about building a web application with Angular. The detailed technical interview was focusing on the task and Angular questions.
All the interviews were great, they answer all the doubts and questions you have and on the technical interview they try to know more about your skills than other interviews I had with other companies. Also everybody was super nice from day one and great communication with the hiring team.
The only bad thing I would say is that they give me two wrong offers at first but it seems it was an internal communication error.
