I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Catawiki (Amsterdam) in Sept 2021
Interview
The process consists of 5 interviews: a screening, an initial technical interview and a final round with 2 more technical interviews and one with the engineering manager.
The recruiter was really nice and helpful, always giving me feedback and also asking for mine after each step. All the interviewers were really nice to me and made me feel really comfortable. The technical exercises were challenging but doable, and I loved the fact that the focus was not only on the hard technical skills but also on communication and attitude.
They were also very flexible, since I had applied to a role that wasn't a really good fit and they were open enough to consider me for another one.
It was a really good experience, so I accepted the offer.
