J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez N26 (Berlin) en oct. 2019
Entretien
I apply through the website and got the first email from a bot to scheduler a screen call with the recruiter. The interview with the recruiter was pretty ok. General questions about my background, how long time to relocate and salary expectations.
After that, he sent me a challenge assignment that was 100% coding. The assignment was well defined (goal, requirements, bonus tasks) and to be done in 72h. I completed ok so it took me to the next step which was 2 technical interviews, 1hour each, with SREs.
The first interview was focused on the challenge that I made (what improvements I could have done, how to put on production, security concerns, etc). Also, focus on fundamentals questions about networking and security in general.
The second interview was focus on practical activities. The guy describe an infrastructure that he had on his house for smart home and asked me what concerns I had and how I would improved it.
I had a good expectation from this two interviews and the 2 guys were pretty friendly but, unfortunately, after that I got a email from the recruiter saying they would not move forward on my process.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
explain tcp and udp, asymmetric and symmetric keys, tcp handshake, tls handshake, dns, http headers, How do you improve your skills? What is the last thing that you learned? explain CI and CD
It was the best interview experience, the interviewer would drain all the knowledge you have about any given concepts, they would test your knowledge from all possbile way, it was really interactive,

Entretien
Talked to the recruiter on the first round and then received a home assignment. After finishing the assignment I received a very poor feedback that really seemed like the person had only read the readme file. In the end I am glad it did not workout.

Entretien
6 rounds of the hiring process (CV check, screening, Take-home test, Tech 1.0 (discussion about the code of the take-home test), Tech 2.0 (System Design), and Managerial interview) One of the best hiring processes I have ever had in my life: - fast feedback (in less than 24 hours) after every step - Respectful people - Learned a lot from every stage (especially the System Design phase)
Notes: - Be Honest and precise, these guys will ask you about the details of the details. - I passed all the interview stages, but unfortunately didn't get the offer at the end because of some bad points in both technical and behavioral interviews, I will improve my skills and definitely re-apply after 6 months.
Questions d'entretien [4]
Question 1
Take-home test: Medium network application system (but they really care about the structure and the README file, the security concerns, and how you could deploy it).
Managerial: - tell me about something I can't see in your CV. - what do you expect from your manager? - tell me about a conflict you had with your teammates and manager?
