After a first chat with the recruiter, I met 3 members of the team which asked me about my background. I received some technical questions. After that I had the interview with the team manager. Finally, the meeting with the general technical manager. The decision was communicated some days later.

Question 1
What is your background
What would you do if I told you "I need you to do this long and difficult task"
I applied online. I interviewed at Hiber (Amsterdam) in Apr 2020
Interview
The interview process at Hiber was potentially the best interview process I have ever been through (and probably will ever go through).
It was very human, and everyone was so accessible, welcoming, and open to answering to questions. They had a genuine interest in getting to know you, and explain the job description and culture very well. They also introduced themselves (both the company, and each individuals) well, and the interviews were more like pleasant conversations.
They respond very quickly, and they provided feedbacks, especially at later stages.
Overall, really pleasant and human interview process.
The stages I went through were:
- 1st call with the recruiter (20 - 30 min.)
- 2nd call with the Hiring Manager (30 min.)
- 3rd call + role play with the Hiring Manager + Senior BD (60 - 70 min.)
- 4th call was with the Head of People and one of the Managers managing the BU I applied for (60 min.)
- Offer
The whole process took exactly 14 days.

Question 1
At every single step of the way, there were questions to get to know you. The questions really depend on your background, because it never felt like there was any standard interview questions, rather an interview on who you are, your motivations, etc. - to me, it felt so much like a conversation between two people wanting to get to know each other on a professional level.
