      Backend Developer Interview

      23 Oct 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Prague
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apify (Prague) in Oct 2025

      Interview

      At the end of 3rd round they were like - the explicitly full remote position is actually not remote, more like hybrid and you have to come to the office, is that a problem?

      Thank you for sharing your honest feedback with us. We want to sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the remote nature of this position. You are absolutely right - introducing a hybrid requirement at the end of the third round is not the experience we want to create. To be transparent, our internal needs for this role did evolve while the interview process was ongoing, and we determined that office presence would be necessary for this specific team. However, we fully acknowledge that we failed to update you the moment that shift happened. We should have reacted sooner to reflect this change in our discussions, rather than surprising you at a late stage. Thank you for holding us accountable. It helps us improve our process for future candidates.
