I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Spribe
Interview
The process started very well. The initial conversations with HR and the hiring manager were professional, structured, and genuinely engaging.
Unfortunately, the final interview with the CCO significantly undermined the overall experience. There was no meaningful discussion of the assignment I had completed, despite the considerable time and effort it required. Instead, the conversation focused repeatedly on why I had been made redundant in my previous role — something I had already explained transparently from the very first stage.
The tone of the discussion felt dismissive and, at times, unprofessional. It did not come across as a constructive evaluation of my work or capabilities, but rather as a repetitive line of questioning that added little value to the process.
Given that I was approached by the company to apply and asked to complete a substantial task, I expected a more thoughtful and respectful review of the work delivered.
I would strongly suggest that the company reviews how final-stage interviews are conducted, particularly at the executive level, ensuring alignment across interviewers and proper evaluation of candidate assignments.
It was a nice experience and I felt like the guys know what they are doing. The overall feeling after the interview was very positive. I knew emmediately they were awesome professionals and I would grow and evolve working with them.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Spribe (Warsaw, Masovia) in Aug 2023
Interview
The interview process at Spribe was well-structured and transparent. It started with an initial HR screening call, where the recruiter explained the role, company culture, and asked about my background and expectations.
The next stage was a technical (or professional) interview with the hiring manager, focused on relevant skills, past experience, and real-life scenarios.
After that, there was a final interview with senior team members, which included deeper discussions about responsibilities, team collaboration, and company values.
Overall, the process was smooth, professional, and respectful of the candidate’s time. Communication was clear at every stage, and feedback was provided promptly.
