Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Russia
Process
A very weird hiring process.
I applied through a recruiter for the position of Senior Software Engineer and received a case study task via email within a week. My solution was accepted, and afterward, I had a Skype technical interview with the Team Lead, which I also passed successfully.
Then, after two weeks, I had a Skype interview with HR, who told me that the next step would be a face-to-face meeting in Dusseldorf. Another two weeks passed, and surprisingly, I received an invitation for another Skype interview with a different Technical Lead. Within three days, I received an email stating that my application was declined.
In summary, if I had known how long and strange the process was, I wouldn't have applied. The second technical interview questions were really weird, and the overall process was very slow.

- 1.0gradually fading awaySenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeDüsseldorfAugust 21, 2023Pros: coffee, fruit, cereal unlimited vacation time company tripsCons: since i started almost 4 years ago, the company went from an entire building to now only 2 floors of that building. we were about 1,000 employees, now the number is somewhere in the 600s. the culture kitchen and barista bar was also ours, but now was given to the owner of the building. people with high qualifications and tenure are being laid off and replaced with students and cheap labor, someone i know who was intelligent and worked hard was not given the permanent contract after 2 years, but was replaced with an intern instead. almost no one got raises this year. we all feel like the end of trivago is near. so much of it is already dead.
