Software Engineer II Interview Experience - Munich, Bavaria
Process
Fun, interesting, and exciting, but mentally exhausting.
Two online interviews, one hour each. The onsite consisted of four interviews, one hour each, with a lunch break between the second and third interviews.
During the lunch break, I was shown around and saw some cool places around the office. Overall, I would say the online interviews were nothing special, but the day of onsite interviews was a truly awesome experience.

- 5.0Great Culture, Compensation, and PeopleSoftware Engineer II • Current EmployeeMunich, Bavaria, GermanyJanuary 26, 2022Pros: I come to the office in flip-flops, and no one cares. I feel like my opinion is genuinely heard in discussions, even with more senior engineers around. The people are generally very smart but also humble.Cons: It takes longer to build and see them in production due to the sheer scale, processes like code review, privacy review, UX reviews... Most of these processes have a reason to exist and are eased by great tooling.
