      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Contentful

      Interview

      Very well structured and respectful. I was treated with dignity and regular updates. They took some time to make the decision, but I got timely updates on next steps. Some of the interview questions were too hard for the specific role level I was pursuing

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Contentful (Berlin) in Jan 2025

      Interview

      The interview process was smooth, and the interviewers were both professional and friendly. The experience was well-structured, and I appreciated the welcoming atmosphere. It felt more like a meaningful conversation rather than a high-pressure assessment, which made the process even more enjoyable.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Contentful

      Interview

      I had three interviews with Contentful, including a phone screen, a video call with a senior engineer, and a technical interview with a panel. My panel interview was okay, I get very nervous during tech interviews and didn’t do a well as I hoped so I’m sure that’s why I didn’t move on. Everyone was incredibly nice and I was consistently hearing back within a few days until that last interview. Now, it’s been over a month and I never got any sort of rejection or notice about the final interview, despite following up several times. My experience up until then was very positive but it’s really hurtful to go through several rounds of interviews and then hear nothing at all. We are humans, not just numbers or robots behind a screen.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They give you a fairly easy take home assignment and ask you to add onto it during the interview.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We appreciate the effort you put into the interview process with us, and we value your perspective. First, we want to sincerely apologize for the lack of communication following your final interview. You took the time to engage with us, and it’s disappointing to hear that we fell short in keeping you informed—it’s not the experience we strive to provide to our candidates. At Contentful, we aim to create a respectful experience for all candidates, and it’s clear that we missed the mark here. While it’s not an excuse, sometimes delays or missteps in communication can happen due to unforeseen circumstances, and we are actively working on improving our process to ensure no candidate feels left in the dark moving forward. We truly value the time, energy, and enthusiasm you brought to the interview process, and we appreciate you sharing your honest perspective with us. Feedback like yours is invaluable as we continue to refine and enhance the candidate experience for everyone.
