J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez DeepL en sept. 2023
Entretien
I was interviewed for a SWE position in DE/NL and I didn't get an offer, but I really don't regret trying. DeepL interview process stands out, and all communication was professional and effective, with the fast feedback.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Geektastic code challenge, about implementing a real-world scenario unsing non-trivial data structures
After initial recruiter screening there was live coding session in .Net to implement DFS in Google Docs - no IDE. Hiring manager was providing hints when stuck. Very cooperative atmosphere
Application followed by a link to schedule a chat with a recruiter a day later, chatted with the recruiter and discussed various aspects of the company. Would have been followed by technical interviews but I withdrew at this point.

For example, how to update the state in React? How would you manage the global state? As for the backend, just asked how to architect an app + how to design a database
