I applied a couple years ago, I can confirm their hiring process is one of the best around.

Any backoff period in place?

What did you like about it?

A pdf explaining their hiring practice. I imagine the user liked the remunerated, take-home tests, done on your own time. https://duckduckgo.com/assets/hiring/how_we_hire.pdf

not only that, also the people I spoke to and the feedback loop :)

Looks great. Good work DDG!

Not particularly. We encourage people to re-apply!
