Backend Developer Interview Experience - Düsseldorf, Germany
Process
I applied for a web developer position in early February 2017. Within a few weeks, Patrick from the HR team contacted me and informed me that trivago wanted to interview me online.
I had a very nice and friendly interview via Skype, which really encouraged me about working at this company.
After the interview, they offered a coding task. I spent some time preparing and then solved it.
After reviewing the coding task, they offered a personal interview in lovely Dusseldorf. After a 3-hour interview, the members of the technical team said they would have an answer within a few weeks, and on April 20th, they invited me to join trivago's great team.
The whole process took about 2 months, but I am sure it was worth it.

- 1.0Maybe not the right place for senior developersSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeDüsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, GermanyJanuary 24, 2019Pros: Flexible working hours Free fruits Nice food PartiesCons: If you want to develop yourself and your work to get recognized, then the company might not be for you. You may put your heart into projects and work all day and night, but in the end, your work will not be very appreciated. On the other hand, others who might not do so much but talk to management get promoted. The Amsterdam team is one example where people don't bring much value to the company but get paid better than others, receive stocks, etc. The company is full of politics, and many people stay in their comfort zone. They don't accept criticism due to the company culture. Senior employees are usually underpaid. Also, managers always say, "If you are here for money, then it is not your place." Why are people in the company? To have fun or to learn ethics? Of course, they want to get well-paid, come on. Some people are in the company for the wrong reasons. The company now tries to hire cheap labor to prevent people from asking for more salary raises. I think the people in the company should initiate an employers' association to assure salary increases that guarantee at least the inflation rate in the country. Don't waste your time here if you want to build a good career. Every day is important for your career.
