I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shift Technology (Paris) in Jun 2019
Interview
They approached me on Linkedin to join them.
It started very good, technical test was online pair programming which made much more sense
They asked me to come to Paris for an on-site interview with the CTO and the team
Once I got through visa, which is not very easy from Iran, they told me that they have hired someone else for another position maybe even in another department and ran out of hiring budget for this year and cancelled everything. After spending so much time on the interviews, they didn't even refused to compensate me for the visa application costs that I had to bear on their request.
Thanks for your review.
