The hiring process I experienced was highly professional, friendly, and pleasant. From the very beginning, everything was well-structured and thoughtfully designed. Each stage — including the initial outreach and the screening call — was conducted with a clear focus on the essentials and felt genuinely purposeful. The final interview with the CEO was a standout moment. His approach was warm and engaging, and his perspective on the company, its future, and their expectations from new team members aligned closely with my own values and goals. I truly appreciated their open mindset and the thoughtful way they envision leading and growing the company. Overall, the process was not only efficient and well-organized, but also inspiring and respectful — leaving me with a strong sense of motivation and connection.

In terms of providing feedback for you, I can only say that I really enjoyed the hiring process, and think you generally do a very good job there. It's not a criticism but I do note that by making the THA non-cloud based, it tests some similar but also some different skills. Similarly, considering that the specific contract for which you are hiring uses a streaming stack with Pub/Sub and Dataflow rather than Kafka, then this means the THA is not an exact match for this. But -- genuinely -- that's not a criticism, because in the end it was a perfectly valid exercise, one that interested me and stretched me to (beyond) my limits. I also appreciated that you encouraged communication over Slack as well.I appreciate the time and effort you took with me. I've learned more than a few things along the way, which means that my time was very well spent as well.All in the all, I've enjoyed meeting you and wish you all the best for the future.

The hiring process here is super transparent — you can track everything on the website. Interviewers are genuinely friendly and respectful, and they really value the time and effort you put in. That alone sets it apart from most places.
But what I appreciate most is the team. Everyone’s got each other’s back and is always trying to help one another grow. No ego, no micromanaging — just clear responsibilities and a transparent environment where people actually care.

The entire process with DataChef was thoughtful and human-centered. From the first conversation, I got a clear understanding of the role and expectations. The take-home assignment was detailed and meaningful—it gave me a chance to learn and build something end-to-end. The deep dive round didn’t feel like an interview, but a two-way conversation. It’s clear that DataChef is serious about putting people first, and it shows at every step.
