Process
Referred by friends, the process took about two weeks.
There were two 45-minute phone interviews.
One interviewer forgot to call initially, then rescheduled the interview for two hours later. The interviewers were nice, but I didn't perform quite well on the follow-up questions.
After more than a week, I received the rejection via email.

- 5.0Great package, smart colleaguesSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeMunich, Bavaria, GermanyFebruary 26, 2021Pros: Great salary and bonuses. Smart colleagues. Good perks in the office (free food, gym, ...). Relative independence towards the hours of work, no micro-management.Cons: Career progression is slow and gets slower as the number of employees gets higher (e.g., a few years ago, a SWE was expected to ramp up to L5, while it would be L4 now). Also, it could be smarter to move to Facebook/Amazon/... and come back to get a higher level. * Bureaucracy * Poor independence regarding the projects (ton of reviews, etc.) * Too much focus on inclusion/following the trends (e.g., Black Lives Matter, etc.) rather than on the products (i.e., it became a highly political organization).
