BerlinPosted Aug 2024 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a pretty structured sequence for the Software Engineer role: an initial HR screening, then three technical rounds, followed by a discussion round with a senior director, and finally a wrap-up conversation with HR.

Each stage felt like it mattered, and the tone stayed polite and professional throughout.

In the technical rounds, the conversations were fairly in depth rather than quick checks. I ended up spending time explaining my thinking, not just producing an answer. The director-level conversation also had a similar feel—more discussion than interrogation—so the process felt smooth even though it covered several steps.
