I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Factor Eleven (Berlin) in Feb 2023
Interview
The interview process involved First HR round. A 90 minute live coding plus system design round with staff engineer 30 minute discussion with Head of engineering Final offer discussion call Optional team intro call Overall the tech interviews were good and I really enjoyed discussions, they seemed very friendly and helpful. But the HR was very impatient and voided my offer just because I rescheduled optional team meeting by one day because of genuine reasons, also HR mentioned the reason for voiding as my lack of discipline even though I informed them in advance and they didn't care about my time invested in interviews and seemed to be quite rude, it might reflect culture of company even though tech folks seemed very knowledgeable and genuine but Overall It was a negative interview experience.
