I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cosuno Ventures (Berlin) in Apr 2023
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter who presented my cv to them. Then I did a quick call with HR followed by another interview with the engineering manager. I got a home assignment to do within 7 days. The test is simple but I tried to invest more time on it by adding tests for BE and FE. Create services and so on. I spend 48h full-time working on the project and I answered some verbal questions. I got rejection after 2 days through the recruiter. They don't even take the time to send me a decent email. JUST RESPECT OTHERS EFFORTS AND TIME AND REPLY TO THEM. Whatever the decisions you take, give people a couple of minutes to explain your decision. Your time is not more precious than ours.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A small application that display a list of items. You have to paginate the list, filter it by a search query or by specialties. You have to manage typo input. BE careful: don't waste time on such complex solutions like Full-text searches or SQL queries. Because In case it does not work or it's not perfect no one will care or take time to discuss your code or approach. You will be rejected directly without any feedback or they will say your code does not cover everything or contains issues.
Dear Candidate,
We are sorry to hear that your experience with the recruitment process was not good. We appreciate your feedback as we try to improve it and provide the best possible candidate experience.

The interview was easy but very long indeed. It started with an HR interview, then the take home assignment, then the technical interview (half hour culture talk, half hour technical, one hour live coding). Then the final CTO meeting, non technical but crucial.
