I applied online and HR sent the invitation with a proposed time and video link. I confirmed but didn't get any reply after that. The interview was weird. He asked a lot of questions about me, including asking for my age (which I thought was very strange - Do they practice ageism ?), Other questions like why I want to work in the company, without providing much information about the company itself. At the end, he asked me how much experiences I have in automated test. It's not even described in job post. Then he said he couldn't continue without having more experience with automation test. Though he didn't say how much is required, I suppose they are looking for at least 3 yrs. most likely 5 yrs. It seems they don't pay much for "regular" developers, and "seniors" need "a lot" of TDD testing automation experience, and even for seniors it doesn't seem very competitive. I got the impression their salary range for the role is about 63-90K EUR depending on seniority, and possibly also that you don't normally start as a high senior dev but have to grow into it inside the company. No bonuses, No stock options. They're looking for both software and tester but didn't mention anything about it in job description. It was a waste of time.

I attended via job board on LinkedIn. After an HR call we set a meeting for technical interview over phone. While we had been talking about my tech stack and past experiences they wanted to stop and informed me their high expectations of English speaking fluency and I got eliminated. My IELTS Score is 6.5
