Process
I applied online. The process took one week.
I reached out to the company via the website and got a response back after about two weeks, which is okay since I know they get a lot of applicants. I only went through the initial screening call with the recruiter. The position was a bit more niche than usual, and I fit the criteria, so I expected to at least move to the technical stage, which I was told would happen. I did not get any response back, even after inquiring, so it was the usual ghosting. A generic response would be fine. Before or during the interview process, according to their website, one is encouraged to use the product and get somewhat familiar with it. I don't think it's fair to ask me to sink hours into it before the first stage if the other party won't even bother with a response.

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.
