Interview at Pinely for Quant Researcher was a waste of time.
Recruiters answered after weeks, every step took too long.
In the end they offered a job in Moscow, even though we talked about working abroad from the start.
It feels like the process is messy and they don’t care much about candidates.

Interview
I was contacted by an internal recruiter. I wasn't looking for a job, but I was interested in the fact that there were a lot of world-class Olympiad winners working here.
The whole process was very fast. First, there was an introduction to the team leader, then a technical interview, which I unfortunately didn't pass.
