Overall very positive experience. The process had 6 steps including the initial chat with the recruiter, and took approximately 4 weeks from application to the final offer.

1. After the recruiter call, there was a coding assessment on Codility platform which had 3 algorithmic problems. (LeetCode type easy to medium level). Focus is more on correctness than the performance.

2. Pair coding with two engineers from N26. Again, on Codility platform. The task was simple, easy level problem from LeetCode. I had to come up with different solutions and discuss the algorithm and data structures used in the solution. They also asked me to design some unit tests for it. Both of the interviewers were very friendly and cheerful.

3. System design - Pair up with 2 engineers from N26 to discuss an HLD for a system to handle large CSV file uploads and process the data. I was bit struggling with the Miro board but the interviewers helped me with that and we discussed various aspects of system design - APIs, databases, file storage, rate limiters, cache, scaling, etc.

4. Behavioural interview - General questions around my experience, N26 values and how would I act in different situations. Sticking to STAR method helped me here.

5. Final offer - After a week of their internal discussions, they finally offered me a decent package, and I accepted it.

1. Coding - Questions about HashMap and its working in Java.

2. System Design - Questions around e2e testing, rate limiter patterns, relational databases.

3. Behavioural - Situation where you have some trouble with senior colleagues, short deadlines, planning, testing, etc.
