Interview
I applied online in 2017 in Berlin. I was requested to make an account, to attach a resume an to answer to a lot of questions. This whole step took something like 3 hours. After applying all I got was radio silence. I have connected with a recruiter on LinkedIn and asked her if she could help me. Radio silence.
Two year later a recruiter from Poland contacted me pretending that I spoke to here a while back. It was a false statement but I chose to see what she wants. She had an open position in Prague. I had a phone interview with here and she failed to answer my questions.
I got a offline coding test. I was in a business trip, and I could not complete it within a week. No deadline was specified initially , tough later that week I started to get notifications that I had 3 days left to finish the code.
This whole thing seemed to me a lack of respect for me, so I spammed them.
Was a typical first round recruiter screen - pretty straightforward but didn't end up getting moved vforwards. Prompt, Professional and overall a good experience. They asked me about my background, explained the role and it was with the recruitment team.
