Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - Berlin, Germany
Process
I applied online. The process took 1+ week.
The interviews were well organized, went into depth where it mattered, and the overall process was pleasantly fast. Besides the technical skills, the focus was also on my personal fit into the company culture.
Questions
The technical challenge was split into two interviews: one live coding session to check my hands-on knowledge with the tech stack, and one high-level architecture session using a shared whiteboard to discuss questions about software architecture and scalability.
