Software Engineer Interview Experience - Hamburg, Germany
Process
I applied through their careers webpage and was contacted by their recruiting coordinator for the position. I first had a coding challenge to solve on HackerRank, and then I was supposed to talk to the technical recruiter.
The challenge itself wasn't hard, but there wasn't enough time to write a decent and efficient solution. In the end, they are more interested in the number of tests you pass rather than your implementation, so go for the easiest way.
