Interview
By far, the worst interview I've had with any company. The first interview wasn't so bad, but the second one was awful. First of all, the guy came 10-15 minutes late to a 45 minute. Throughout the whole interview, the interviewer was silent and didn't make any comments on my code. In the middle of the interview, when I had a question about how the output should be represented, the interviewer didn't say anything back. I didn't know what to do, so I just continued coding in whatever way I thought was appropriate. A few minutes later, he comments on the aspect I asked him about, and why I did it that way. I think he left in the middle of the interview!

Interview
1.) A rather short interview with the recruiter about experience and motivation. Probably mostly a sanity check of the candidate.
2.) A coding task via HackerRank. Was challenging but not impossible to solve. Takes about 1-2 hours depending on how fast you find a solution.
3.) Video screen with an engineer from the department (from what I have heard it can also be with more than one person). After a little chat, it started with a theoretical task on software design. The other task was live coding on a shared coderpad screen. The problem was not very hard, but it took some thinking and in the heat of the moment it is important to stay calm.
4.) On site interview. I had a challenging but a really great experience there. You get the know some of the team while having lunch. After that some interviews including coding, general technical questions about software and your experiences with a manager and an algorithm & data structures interview.
Granted, I have only been at the office for a short time. But all the people there were super nice and helpful and the overall atmosphere was super positive and exciting.
Also, the whole process was rather quick and the recruiter always kept you up to date what was going on in the process.

Started off with a technical part, where I was asked a very simple algorithmic question that I had to solve on my own laptop.
Afterwards a couple of basic technical question.
Then followed a equally as long culture interview
