Software Engineer Interview Experience - Berlin, Germany
Process
HR Interview Engineering Manager Screening Coding Challenge Computer Science Deep Dive
Interview with prospective Hiring Manager: Interviews with HR and EM were pretty smooth and relaxed. The coding challenge phase wasn't the greatest experience, as the engineers didn't seem very interested or friendly. They expect you to write the exact solution they want within a 45-minute timeframe, production-code ready, over a code-pairing tool. This is very unrealistic.
On a separate note, all folks in Tech that I've met come from very homogeneous backgrounds, making me think the company ranks very low in Diversity in Tech.
