BerlinPosted Sep 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My journey started with a 30-minute recruiter call focused on my past experience.

After that, I did a take-home Codility test with three tasks, including medium LeetCode-style problems and items involving strings and bit manipulation.

From there, I moved to a one-hour engineering manager interview that centered on microservices. That round felt more directly aligned with how systems are expected to work in production and how teams think about services. I didn’t end up getting an offer, but the structure was clear and the steps had a logical progression from screening to practical testing to managerial technical depth.
