I applied to the job for Software Engineer at XCNT GmbH online and immediately received the application confirmation email. Within a week, I got an introductory remote interview call 30mins long. I also received the preparation material for the interview that included a pdf about XCNT's services, aim, and tech stack. The interview was conducted by one of the cofounders that mainly aimed at knowing each other. Right after the screening, I got an email with a document detailing the further steps in the application process and the question if I would like to move further with the process. Since I was ready, I received a coding challenge the very next day with a soft deadline of 3 weeks. I had queries when I started with the challenge and they were very responsive to them. After submission of the coding challenge, I received a technical interview and coding challenge review invitation that lasted for about an hour and a half. There was guiding input too from the lead developer for things that could have been improved and suggestions at the end regarding the overall coding challenge and interview. Right after the technical interview, I received an invitation to meet another co-founder. This one was more like an HR interview. Two days after the second interview, I got an invitation to Berlin for the final onsite interview. Two days after my final interview, I received an offer!

I applied online and heard back for a remote interview pretty fast. The interview was just a casual talk about the company's goals and about my interests. After the interview I was sent details for a test for which I had a month to complete. I didn't make it past the test.
