Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Germany

September 1, 2023
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Two months after applying for the position (using an internal referral from a friend), I did a live coding interview and a call with a random manager. So far, I've been ghosted by the recruiter. Since I have high interest in GitLab, I've been sending emails to the recruiter every 3-4 days with no response. This week, I tried to send emails to everyone who interviewed me, but I received no response either. I am dropping the process after 11 weeks as I have other offers. Honestly, I am feeling extremely bad about GitLab's processes and I am afraid that this could be a translation of the company's processes themselves.

Questions

Live coding exercise: Not LeetCode, just a regular mid-level coding exercise. No need to stress there.

Manager call: Behaviour questions and career questions.
