Software Engineer Interview Experience - Hamburg, Germany
December 1, 2020
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
After a HackerRank assignment, an HR interview, a first coding interview, and a final round of interviews, a generic rejection email is all you get. I think after more than one month of interviews, we deserve a phone call and some individual feedback about what went wrong.
Questions
- HackerRank assignment
- HR interview
- First coding interview
- Final round of interviews (4 interviews: coding, system design, 2 behavioral)
