Software Engineer Interview Experience - Düsseldorf, Germany
Process
I interviewed with the Engineering Lead directly via Skype.
From the beginning of the Skype session, it seemed like the Engineering Lead already had another person in mind, or perhaps wanted someone with specific "characteristic" specifications. However, it felt like these specifications were not related to technical abilities or soft skills.
The Engineering Lead asked some questions about my profile, and I asked questions about Trivago. Throughout the conversation, the interviewer seemed to be merely filling time, perhaps to report to his boss that he had interviewed the required number of candidates, but nothing more.
I would not expect such behavior from Trivago, and it was a really bad experience for me.

- 4.0Fast-growing company with a start-up attitudeSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeDüsseldorf, GermanyDecember 2, 2017Pros: As the company grows quite fast, many changes are happening all the time. For some people, it can be good; for others, not really. Personally, I think it's good because it gives you an opportunity to try out many different things and learn different approaches. I also like the flexibility and work/life balance. The overall team is very strong and will help you solve any problem. Depending on which department you're working in, you'll have a chance to try different technologies and suggest others.Cons: It's not a surprise that salaries are not the highest at trivago. Located in Düsseldorf, if you'd decide to switch a job, that might be problematic, since there are not many international companies in the city. So the chance that you have to move to a different city is really high.
