Backend Engineer Interview Experience - Germany

April 1, 2024

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

HR screening, Hiring manager, Take-home task, Technical interview

I received a rejection after the technical interview without any feedback. This seemed like a company that does not value an applicant's time.

Also, the technical interview was with two data scientists, which was a bit odd, given that it was a software engineer role.

Questions

Implement a REST API for healthcare.

How would you handle authentication?

How to approach schema evolution for your APIs (using the repository pattern)?

Pros: Working from home Great salary

Cons: No internal promotions. Everyone works from home, so there's no culture.

Mature company with a very good culture

Director, Engineering • Current Employee

Pros: A clear idea of how to scale a company and how to build products. A very intensive, character-focused hiring process (some may like it, others won't) results in excellent teams which can execute with precision and speed. Lots of great people and good communication. Very value-driven, being a PBC is a huge plus.

Cons: Sometimes you need to break patterns and misconceptions with high effort. It takes time and requires you to build trust with peers and superiors. Quite a bit of disagree-and-commit at the beginning for me.
