1- HR Call
2- Case Study (2h before the call with the Product Team) / Presentation and interview with the Head and Junior Product Manager.
3- Intelligence and math tests.
4- Interview with the C-lvl, Head, and HR. (Again, behavioral questions).
Here are some points of confusion:
– The C-Level executive left the interview, which was meant to be an introduction to the candidate. Allegedly, another meeting overlapped. Mind you, they are trying to fill a manager position.
– The Head was chatting and doing something else during both meetings, putting on a smart facade.
– Overall HR processes are stuffed with classic recruitment practices from traditional German banks, the same practices the company is trying to move away from on paper.
– A couple of times, I got the feeling that I was being discussed negatively in the company chat even before the meeting ended.
– Crowdfunding instead of investments looks attractive from the outside, but apart from HR, no one clearly confirmed that the company had really reached break-even through its business model.
– The process, approval, and review are very slow.
