The process was exactly as described on their website: 4 structured steps, each with a clear purpose, plus an optional conversation with a potential teammate that I chose to add. Fast, transparent, and well-managed from start to finish, every step was followed up with clear and honest feedback (via phone) which is genuinely rare. What struck me most was the people. From the recruiter (Sacha) to the hiring manager (Teresa) to the team members I met along the way (Theo and Marta) everyone was kind, respectful and took the time to make the process feel like a real conversation. The culture comes through clearly even before you join. You can tell this is a company that takes its values seriously, not just on paper. I didn't get the role this time, but I'd apply again without hesitation. If you're considering Qonto as your next step, the hiring experience alone tells you a lot about how they treat people inside.
