I have been interviewing for over 4 months, and Qonto has been without any doubt the overall best experience: the recruiter had an amazing care in sharing how's life at Qonto, such as project lifecycle, role responsabilities, benefits and next steps in the process. She always asked me for feedback from my side at each step, while sharing it from the interviewer(s) side. Once I got an offer, they even accommodated a interview that I requested with the Hiring Manager to dive deeper into the team, the project and technologies used. I have been vocal that I was interviewing with other companies, and they totally understood my situation, giving me 48hrs to take a decision (since they were other candidates for the position). In the end, I did not accept because of domain (FinTech) and tech stack (Go and Ruby) with little space for DevOps (which is something that I am skilled of as well).

A friendly exploratory interview with a Qonto recruiter/HR person. She decided to bring up salaries fairly early and we decided to stop at that point as the maximum available salary for the position was below my current one. Perfectly reasonable - nobody wastes time. (So interpret "Interview difficulty" with that in mind.)
