The interview process was well-structured and efficient, with clear communication at each stage. I appreciated how the scheduling was handled promptly, and the expectations for each round were made clear in advance. It felt like a thoughtful and respectful process that valued both the candidate's time and experience.

After going through six interviews with MoonPay, my overall experience was disappointing. Up to that point, the process had been demanding but engaging, which I could understand given the industry and the seniority of the role. However, in the final interview, something was made very clear that hadn’t been communicated before: the company expects long working hours on a regular basis and only hires “A players,” meaning people who are willing to prioritize work above everything else.
This kind of corporate culture is not compatible with a healthy work-life balance. While it’s legitimate to strive for excellence, using that as a reason to normalize constant overwork and exclude those who aren’t willing to operate at that pace reflects a very narrow view of talent.
I would not recommend MoonPay to those who value a sustainable or inclusive work environment that respects different lifestyles and productivity rhythms.

The system design portion was mostly filler without much depth. During the technical exercise (done as a pair programming session), the task was very simple: read from two JSON files and check which one had sufficient stock. The rest of the process felt like it was just filling time, without adding meaningful insight into the role or challenges.
