I had a great experience with the hiring process at FINN. The recruiter was very responsive, transparent and kept me informed every step of the way. It is true that there are 1-2 more steps in the process compared to other startups. However, I was amazed at how little time it took: from the first interview to the offer, only 2 weeks passed, which is really quick.
The hiring process includes 4 steps:
- Call with the recruiter: Behavioral questions + administrative topics.
- Coding assignment: in my case, write a "clone" of a popular application (not the whole thing of course, the scope is limited in the task description).
- technical interview: includes discussion of the task and technical questions about the company's stack. the environment in this call was friendly and supportive.
- final interview with supervisor and product manager (culture fit).
