I applied online. I interviewed at Grover (Berlín) in Dec 2019
Interview
At the beginning the process was smooth. The first round was with HR, followed by an onsite interview with CPO, Design, and Tech team members. After the successful round, I was asked to complete a case study, which I did with a given deadline. After submission, I never heard from them. No feedback, no reject. No communication that the position has been filled. Waste of time and very unprofessional.

Question 1
The interview in the onsite round was very generic.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Grover in Mar 2020
Interview
I was invited for a first friendly and informal skype interview where I was asked a little bit about my background and my motivations. The next step was to complete a finance test in excel within an hour which consisted in 3 questions to be solved using excel formulas and 1 question regarding a corporate finance task (estimating the value of a company). After having sent the test I never heard back from them.
Step 1 - HR call: in this step I had a very pleasant conversation with the recruiter. She spoke about the company, its mission and vision, and the position. I had time to ask a lot of questions too.
Step 2 - on site: I was invited to visit the office and discuss the technical and product side in further details. I had three meetings scheduled, one with a senior software engineer, one with a PO and the last was with the CTO. We discussed my technical skills as well as my previous experience.
Step 3 - take home task: I received a task to work on and submit in a couple of days. I finished it in 5 days which they were totally fine with it.
Step 4 - task discussion: this was a short call with the same senior software engineer to discuss the task and how I approached it.
Step 5 - meet the team call: this was the last call (also technical) where I spoke with the team that I was a candidate for. I spoke with the lead and two engineers who were very friendly and answered all the questions that I had about the role and the expectations from it.
Step 6 - offer.
