Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 giorni. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso SoundCloud nel mese di gen 2023
Colloquio
Far too many steps, but some of them can be bundled together into one day. - Recruiter - Home assignment - System design - Bar raiser - Product - Hiring manager It was hard to understand the future role from the job description – very inconsistent postings across the careers page. Eventually, out of three roles, it turned out that I've applied to team that was looking for a mid-to-senior candidate. The recruiter was kind enough to tell me that I'm overqualified in the call, so I wasn't surprised when I got the rejection. The recruiter call in its turn was cold and uninviting. They didn't have the camera on, didn't tell anything about the role or the process until I was done telling my story. I've made it clear that even though I might be overqualified for this particular team, I'd appreciate if I could be redirected to a different funnel, but I didn't hear back afterwards – only received a rejection email from a noreply address.

General job history and reasons for changing jobs; Salary expectations; Programming language preference.
There was an initial call, followed by a take home test. About a week later, they came back with a positive result and throughout 2 half days (they usually do 1 full day) I had pair programming, a system design interview, an agile interview and a bar raiser interview.

All questions were very natural and seemed like a conversation. They ask about previous experiences, what you could do to improve your take home test, etc… overall, it was a very positive experience.
I applied for Backend Engineer position in Berlin office, few days later a recruiter reached me and did a phone screening interview, in the interview, the recruiter told me that i'll be getting a take-home case, but never heard back from them again.
