Be careful about applying to Hopper. They will take you through many rounds of ambiguous, average difficulty, and uncoordinated interviews - only to drop you along the way for candidates further along the process. (Yes, the multiple rounds and 'loop' is designed to put multiple candidates through the process, you won't know how many, and they will drop you as soon as somebody reaches first).
100% remote company - therefore low accountability. Be warned.
