Candidate Testimonials
Here's what people we've interviewed say about us and the interviewing process:
"I had a coding interview with Kat. I felt I could relax and could focus on the task, without worrying about my fears which normally make me perform badly. For example I tend to think one should not be silent as it shows lack of expertise. But she assured me it was ok to remain silent for a while. That allowed me to think, read carefully and show my real skills."
David O.
Data Engineer"Having an interview with Kat was a pleasant and enjoyable experience. I found her to be empathetic, supportive, and very professional. The interview was very well structured and encompassed questions from a broad technical spectrum. However, there was enough time for exciting discussions about some technical aspects. To sum it up, it was probably the best interview experience I've ever had :)."
