Process

The process started with an initial 30 minutes screen interview with an N26 recruiter who asked about my professional experience and why I'd like to join the company.

  1. 1 hour coding challenge on HackerRank (6 questions + 1 coding task), which was pretty challenging given the time constraint.
  2. 4 days take at home project, where they ask you to build an application given certain requirements.
  3. 1 hour and 30 minutes technical interview with the iOS team, discussing the actual implementation of your project and questions related to the project and to your daily work as a developer.
  4. 30 minutes interview with an engineering manager.
  5. 5 minutes wrap up call with the N26 recruiter.

All the interviews were handled professionally. I had to wait a little for the final decision since all the interviewers had to meet together, other than that it was a very respectful interview process.
