A quick intro call, followed by a technical interview (including a technical task such as paired programming or role task) and a final interview.

What happens when you finish a project? Does your contract run out?

On the rare occasion you are between projects, you will be part of our ‘bench’ where you will focus on developing your skills by taking courses and certifications, getting involved in internal projects and maybe even helping to teach the Academy.

As soon as a relevant opportunity becomes available, you are assigned to another client project.

How long does the company allow you to be on ‘the bench’?
