Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Berlin, Germany
Process
I applied online.
Frankly, it was probably the best interview experience I've ever had. I was treated extremely well and now have enormous respect for their team. I have never declined a job that I wanted so much. The HR team held my hand at every step, making it very clear what the expectations were in advance. Their HR team followed up every interview with a call that included feedback! Amazing. Everyone was extremely competent and professional. At the end, the HR team actively sought my feedback on how things went from my perspective. A++
Questions
It was a lengthy, seven-step process, but I applaud them for their thoroughness. "Hire hard, manage easy." Roughly my process:
- HR interview
- Cultural interview (of sorts)
- Take-home test (too many assumptions to make)
- Ruby Kata live coding test
- Architecture interview
- Cultural interview II

Doctolib Work Experiences
- 1.0Top-down from FranceEngineering Manager • Current EmployeeBerlinAugust 27, 2023Pros: - Colleagues are great - Product is interesting and solve people problemsCons: - Very top-down - Everything is decided in France. Berlin is a branch with no real influence - Product leadership is pretty misogynistic - A lot of politics. You get promoted if you are in France and you are buddy with the right people. No real meritocracy - Remote policy is done to prevent people to work remotely. We can work 2 weeks from abroad but need to ask with 2 months notice and get approval from manager...
