Process
I applied online. The process took four weeks.
The process consisted of a total of six interviews with the hiring manager, team, and founder. Next to solving a coding challenge in pairing, the process included interviews around cultural and team fit, as well as management style. Given the number of steps, the interview process was fast-paced, with feedback being delivered quickly and reliably. A strong focus of the interviews was introducing me to everyone I would work with and ensuring that my leadership style is aligned with the culture at n8n. Everyone was very open, positive, and motivated, which made me feel comfortable during the interviews and was one of the deciding factors for me.

n8n Work Experiences
- 5.0A great place to workSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeBerlinMarch 10, 2023Pros: Great team and culture, people are friendly and the product is fun to work. Work life balance is good.Cons: Lot of work, small team, so work is intense.
- 5.0Fun and autonomy combinedSenior Full Stack Engineer • Current EmployeeBerlinJuly 30, 2021Pros: I like working at n8n as I have build really meaningful connections. We go out for drinks, we have fun playing games at the office or online occasionally and it's encouraged. The culture is great and everyone has voice in decisions. Transparency is a key in the company values. It's a company that respects diversity and our humanity.Cons: This is not a company with the fanciest office or amazing bonuses.
- 5.0Genuinely great people, real ownership, strong productEngineer • Current EmployeeJune 28, 2026Pros: Strong product-market fit and a ton of ownership from day one. The people are the best part: low-ego, genuinely smart, and refreshingly free of corporate games. There's a shared sense that everyone wants both the company and each other to win. Leadership is kind, competent, and humble, which sets the tone for the whole place.Cons: Workload and expectations both run high. I don't really count that as a negative, but it's worth going in with eyes open. Hypergrowth brings its own growing pains, and while the company is handling them well right now, that's the kind of thing worth watching. Hoping it holds.
