Behavioral Technical Presentation

The interview process started with a recruiter call, followed by an interview with the Hiring Manager. Then, I was given a case study to complete. After that, I interviewed with the Director. Unexpectedly, HR scheduled another interview with the head of a different department. This interview was more technical than expected and didn't align with the job description. They then went silent and didn't respond to my follow-ups. Finally, after 11 days, I received a rejection email.

Technical Coding Behavioral

The interview process was smooth, and the interviewers were very friendly and helpful. First, HR contacted me by phone after I applied online. Then, I had my first round, which was a technical video interview with a senior developer from the Hamburg team, including coding and theoretical questions on Java, data structures, etc. I received an email that I had cleared the interview and was shortlisted for a second tech interview with a Lead Engineer from the Hamburg team. The questions were mostly about past project experiences and architectural decisions made. I cleared that as well and had my next round with the hiring manager. After clearing that, I had an HR interview with the head of Global HR. Finally, I was informed I had cleared and received an offer. I also had a call with the CEO later, which wasn't exactly an interview but more of an introduction to the company, where he shared his vision and how I could fit into the company's mission.

The interview process was really organized and straight forward. I had an initial HR screening where I was asked to introduce myself as a person rather than a resume, then we went over the resume, and discussed company history and culture. I was then brought in to the office and interviewed with 5 team members. The third round of interviews consisted of 3 Skype interviews with other offices. Three days later I received the verbal offer it then took two days to receive the official offer.

Behavioral

I had a phone screening with the Head of HR in Germany, who explained the company structure, job duties, and expectations. The call was friendly, and I felt relaxed. I was then invited for final on-site interviews. Although I received positive feedback and made a good impression, I was not offered the position because another candidate was a better cultural fit.
