      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      1 May 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Orbem

      Interview

      She asked about my background and why I wanted to work there, described the hiring process (5-6 rounds. Seemed excessive) via a detailed set of slides, and told me that I would get a response within two weeks. I had to remind them 2.5 weeks later. She said that they were having a hard time finding someone for the role. She looked less than half of my age.

      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      30 May 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Munich, Bavaria
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Orbem (Munich, Bavaria) in May 2024

      Interview

      The process consisted of four parts: 1. Initial Screening Call with HR This part was smooth and pleasant. I was asked some interesting questions, such as how to explain a technical term to a non-technical person. 2. Online Assessment This part felt a bit odd. The questions were mostly general assessment and logic-based. While they were enjoyable to answer, I expected more technical and position-specific questions given that this is a senior-level position requiring extensive experience and knowledge in specific areas. I didn't find this assessment very meaningful. 3. Technical Interview This part was more relevant as I was asked about handling design issues, conflicts, and a whiteboard design question. Although the questions were enjoyable, they were relatively easy, and I did not find them challenging. 4. Potential, Team, and Culture Interviews This was a lengthy three-hour session involving six different people. They asked many questions from various areas, but the questions were either too general or too broad. As a result, they were not challenging and felt more like a survey. Overall, my experience was neutral. The interviewers were excellent and welcoming, and the entire process was smooth and transparent. However, I believe the interview flow was flawed because it did not adequately measure the skills required for the position. I felt I could not fully express my qualifications in relation to the position's requirements. I was not offered the position, as they chose someone else. I wish the company success in its journey!
