I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at AppNexus (London, England)
Interview
Here is what I have received from AppNexus (no joke, disrespecting candidates in real at APN!!!). Yes, the 'XXX' and 'his/her' are real LOL
Thank you so much for your interest in AppNexus [...]. XXX really enjoyed his/her conversation with you, however we’ve decided to move forward with another candidate at this time.

Question 1
what is your passion in your life? what is the biggest challenge you have experience from this passion (doesn't make total sense to me but....) the guy also sounded profoundly bored by his job!
1 call with hiring manager
4 interviews in the morning: 1 fit interview with lead solutions consultant, 1 technical interview with solutions consultant, 1 interview with hiring manager, 1 interview with sales director.
I was contacted by email for a phone call with the director. The interview was organized in English and French as both languages were required. At the end of interview, I was told that my skills and personality matched the position and should be contacted by hr shortly. However, no reply after one month, even after I sent them an email for a feedback, which is quite rude and I am totally confused about their attitude towards my application.

Question 1
Career goal and motivation; difficulties and accomplishment
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AppNexus (Hamburg)
Interview
Ich wurde von einem Recruiter kontaktiert, daraufhin gab es ein erstes Telefonat mit dem Hiring Manager. Danach folgten vier face-to-face Gespräche vor Ort, bei welchen die typischen Kenntnisse abgefragt werden (team fit, analytical skills etc.).
Hierbei wurden sehr viele Fragen wiederholt gestellt, die Interviewer haben sich scheinbar nicht abgesprochen.
Die Gespräche waren, wie der Prozess selber, nett und einigermaßen effizient, die Fragen allerdings sehr outdated. Extrem enttäuschend ist die Kommunikation und Zahlungsbereitschaft der Reisekosten (über 6 Wochen, keine Kommunikation seitens HR, bisher noch kein Geld da).
Ohne den letzten Punkt hätte das Unternehmen vermutlich einen etwas positiveren Eindruck hinterlassen. Sehr schade.
