They're allowing monthly payments for the first time, which are slightly more expensive than paying yearly like every company on the planet does. Way less of a deal than the title makes it sound.
"at least 5 years of programming (not necessarily professional)" interests me quite a bit as I've been a hobbyist for many years but haven't coded professionally much, but FYI the test sent to my email asks for number of years of professional experience. You might want to update that if you're actually open to applicants with non-professional experience.
