Colloquio
I had my first phone interview with FlixMobility back on July 26, it was a friendly discussion with the hiring manager that then based on my background sent me a technical test. The technical test has two challenges and I was told to solve at least one, I solved both and submitted back the solution that I thought will pass with flying colors. Nonetheless, it took them over 2 weeks to reach out to me again asking for the follow-up interview and I had that interview on August 17 and it was with a senior backend engineer, he was impressed with the solution but we didn't talk much about it, rather it was more system design-related questions. until this point, except the huge delay in the responses I had no issues, not until they basically ghosted me. Not professional at all and really inconsiderate. I don't understand how writing a single email to give closure to a candidate that spent a lot of effort interviewing and solving your technical assignments is asking for too much. I Hope that area gets improved in the future.

Colloquio
The interview process was very well structured and transparent from start to finish. It consisted of an initial HR screening(45 min), a Hiring Manager interview(60 min), a technical code review session(90 min), and a final onsite Meet the Team round(60 min). Communication throughout the process was excellent, with timely updates after every stage.
Every interviewer was professional, approachable, and genuinely interested in having meaningful technical and behavioral discussions rather than asking only standard interview questions. The technical round focused on engineering judgment, code quality, and problem-solving, while the onsite round was highly collaborative and provided a great opportunity to learn more about the team, engineering culture, and day-to-day work. Overall, it was one of the best interview experiences I've had.

Domanda 1
The HR round was primarily focused on understanding my background and motivation. Questions included:
Tell me about yourself.
What technologies have you worked with?
Why Flix?
What are your expectations for this role?
Why did you leave your previous company?
Visa/work authorization status.
Notice period / joining availability.
Salary expectations.
Experience with monitoring systems, cloud providers, and AI usage in day-to-day work.
This Hiring manager round was a deep dive into my resume and previous experience. The discussion covered:
Walkthrough of my major projects and my individual contributions.
The most challenging technical problem I had solved.
Design decisions and ownership examples.
Database indexing and performance optimization.
AI usage in my previous company and how I incorporated it into my workflow.
General discussions around backend architecture and engineering decisions.
The technical interview was centered around engineering judgment rather than algorithmic coding.
I was given a Java code file and asked to review it.
Identified potential issues, suggested improvements, and discussed possible extensions.
The interviewers were interested in my thought process, trade-off analysis, communication, and how I collaborated while solving problems.
It felt more like a technical discussion than a traditional coding interview
The final onsite round was very conversational and focused on team fit and real-world engineering scenarios. Questions included:
How would you approach implementing a new feature?
How do you handle disagreements with teammates?
Situational and behavioral questions around ownership, collaboration, and decision-making.
Discussions about engineering culture, working style, and cross-functional collaboration.

The worst interview process I had in my entire life.
They started the process and everything looked amazing, I did all the steps ( 6 steps) and got rejected due to "technical reasons", but, the technical part was the 3 step, why not just refuse me in the third one instead of making me do all the 6 steps just to reject me for something I had not passed in the 3 one. Also, they told me that they made offers by calling by phone, and the recruiter told me "Hey I am going to call you soon", two days goes with no call, I asked, she said "I will call you tomorrow", then after one week of this I got rejected and the reasons that I was told is the one I said above.
Really unbelievable the amount of disrespect and wast of my time.
hr, technical interview, task. The process is straight forward.
They asked about previous experiences and some other projects that you worked on before. The task was a codility coding challenge
