I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at vivenu (Munich, Bavaria) in Aug 2022
Interview
First step HR reached out to me and talked about the position, short call to check if opinions match.
Step 2, coding challenge. 3 problems using a programming language of choice. All in all about 60 minutes with discussions. A very nice and healthy discussion around coding.
Step 3, interview with CTO. Very brief conversation about the position or around my CV. Continuous reminder about a scale up company and the need to work over time, hints that working way past working hours and being available till 20:00 or later will be appreciated.
Step 4, negative feedback from HR citing lack of knowledge on topics never questioned about during the entire process.
