Das Gespräch war sehr ungezwungen und gut strukturiert. Es gab erst einen Trial Day und dann ein Interview an einem anderen Tag. Beides war angenehm und stressfrei. Jeder der sich bewirbt braucht nicht nervös sein.

The experience was very positive---up til it was time to make the offer and negotiate the salary. I had a telephone interview with the head of HR, then a video interview with the hiring manager, then was invited for a trial day at the office where I had to present my strategy for reaching out to new clients. All this happened within one week. When I got the offer, they did not indicate whether the monthly salary was before or after tax (though they didn't fail to indicate the net worth of their free gym membership). They tried to convince me that the "best benefit" is "you'll make a contribution to our mission of improving the way med students and doctors learn"---not true, that's *literally* my job, not a benefit. I negotiated for a salary that was in the average range of BD managers in Berlin (I looked it up), but the Head of HR laughed at me and claimed it was "unreasonable". I even negotiated to receive my current salary, plus their benefits, but still no. They tried to pad the benefits by saying I would receive training, making it sound as if they're doing especially for me, yet this training was already being offered to employees, whether or not I joined! Please, don't expect to hire good talent if you can't afford them. You have over 100 employees--you're not a start-up anymore. For any interested applicants: Amboss seems to be a great place to work for if you're young, not overly concerned with money, and want to work at a place that's not very professional (not necessarily meant in a bad way, but there doesn't seem to be a large boundary between friends and co-workers, which is not my cup of tea).

First telephone call with the HR.

General questions of how you will organize a team, metrics, gathering data, etc...

I received an automatic email from HR that I was rejected for the position of Agile Coach....Weird that I applied for a position as Engineer Manager. The HR respond me that they changed the title of the job. How you can change the title from Engineer Manager to Agile Coach?

The company continue reposting the same job adverts every week or so. only fishing ideas from candidates. They are probably only fishing ideas and salary expectation search.

I got contacted 2 hours after I submitted my application. The Hiring Manager was nice and straight forward. I had an interview scheduled a few days later. It took around 2,5 hours and in this time I met the whole team and saw the office. I received the offer one day after my interview. Everything went really quick and they were always open to answer my questions.

First interview with the HR. Second one with the head of the user research group. Then I had to prepare a set of questions regarding the daily challenges of a user researcher and how I would deal with them. After sumbitting this I had to present in in Berlin to 4 relative persons in the company.

First interview is with HR or the recruiter to get a sense of who you are and a high level overview of your professional background and skills. Second interview was around 45 minutes with the CTO for a detailed overview of my professional background and skills.

Then there were 3 interviews with the teams who I'd work closely with: engineering, support/communications, and product/agile team. The questions were specific to the expertise of the interviewing team, but they usually were a mix between behavioural and technical questions.

Overall everyone was approachable and friendly throughout the interview process, and I felt that I could reach out and ask questions if I had any. (Important because all of my interviews were over Skype)

Vorstellungsgespräch

After a telephone interview where I was asked mostly about my professional experience and interest in the position, I was invited on site and had three individual interviews, each about an hour long. They were all pretty casual and relaxed, and I was asked mostly about my strengths, how I would handle certain tasks, what I would like to see in the role, and the like. I was given two articles to read before the interview, and in the last interview I discussed their content and gave me thoughts on them. Overall it was a pleasant experience, although I personally prefer more highly-structured interviews and thought these interviews were a bit too conversational.

The first interview was with HR who then organised the second interview via email. The HR guy was lovely and we got on really well.
The second interview was a bit messy - as with startups. It was recorded for 1 employee who couldn't be there and I was interviewed by 2 other employees.
I enjoyed the overall experience, but it included 1h 45mins of intense behavioural questions, such as "how would I contact more universities?", "what email strategy would I put in place?", "what marketing strategies would I put in place".
To me, this was a bit extreme for a mid-level Copywriter position. I would have expected a similar grilling if I was going for a CMO position.
Frustratingly, after the interview, I was asked to send work samples. I did this but I was then not contacted for 3 weeks (despite sending in a few emails just to ask how long the process would take) and then I was rejected with a standard email and no feedback.

I was contacted by HR almost immediately after submitting my application. We set up a phone interview, which lead to a second phone interview with the team lead, which lead to a third phone interview with the head of communications. After this, I was invited to the office for a trial day / culture fit where I was asked to prepare a workflow for how I would approach the position. I was given the day to work on this and then presented it to the team lead and head of communications. Approximately 1 week later I was contacted with an offer (it was also at least a week between each interview/conversation). The offer was quite a bit lower than the range I had given in my first interview with HR (which surprised me) and lower than another offer I received elsewhere, but I was very impressed with the work culture that I experienced on my trial day and decided that I would rather make less money and enjoy coming to work everyday than make more money and hate my life. I've been here around 3 months now and I couldn't be happier with my choice. If you're looking to get more than just a paycheque from your job, then I highly recommend AMBOSS.

The first interview was a phone interview with Head of HR which was super nice and informative. For the second interview, I had to go to the office and met all the other HR colleagues (2). After that, I've been to the office once more to have some cultural fit talks with Office Management and Finance and also met one of the new HR colleagues.
The process was overall very fast and super interesting. I got to know a lot of people beforehand and saw the office and how everyone works.
Overall a very good experience!
