es war ok. Aber manchmal nicht klar genug was Sie wissen wollen. Man könnte villeicht ein bisschen besser die Fragen formulieren, und mehr Zeit zum Antworten geben. Uberall eine gute Gesprächserfahrung.

Vorstellungsgespräch

Overall it was a pretty pleasant experience, they were very professional and the whole process seemed to be very well rounded and defined. It consisted of 5 parts:

1. initial phone call where the whole process was explained to me
2. remote test consisting of two parts: programming (in language of choice) and system design
3. HR phone screen (yes, after the remote test)
4. video conference that consisted of three parts: remote test review, talk about recent projects and hands on test in technology which was their technology of choice for the position I applied for
5. Onsite. I was eliminated after the 4th part, so didn't get there, but I was supposed to meet managers, future colleagues etc.

The tasks on the hands on test were actually nothing tricky, relatively easy even, I would say and you even get to use the API documentation. However, due to my lack of hands on experience with the particular technology, I failed miserably. Looking back, I probably should have known that this part was going to look like this, and a couple of days of preparations would have probably been enough to pass it. The two interviewers were very pleasant to talk to and helpful during the interview, giving hints and directions. I really had a feeling they wanted me to succeed.

A couple of days after the hands on I got an email from them informing me I didn't pass with quite a detailed feedback from both interviewers.

Not respectful of my time. The phone interview was postponed twice - first time: 1h before start; second: got an email 15min after it was supposed to begin to ask if they could push it back by another 4h). The interviewer never apologized and didn't tell me about the position or about GYG until I asked at the end. Kept asking me about details of my last job even after I mentioned that the last job was least related to this position compared to previous jobs, which frankly threw me off and made me feel like I was talking to a brick wall. My impression was that they already had enough candidates and she was just going through the motions and not genuinely interested.

Vorstellungsgespräch

This one of the most interesting processes I so far had in my career. First I had a phone interview which was very good, the person I talked on the phone was very friendly and tried to make me feel comfortable all the time. After that, they invited me to an interview with one of the CEO and the person I had talked on the phone before. That was such a great experience, I really loved having that 1-hour talk with the Boss, I guess this is the feeling you get when you have interviews with experienced and competent people.

Then the second part was an interview with HR and that is when I got disappointed by the company. Questions like: where do you see yourself in five tears, what would your last boss say about you... and other things you find on Google when you are looking for "the worst interview questions". It was just a downer from the interview I had before with the CEO.

Especially the moment when you realize that when asking about salary and earliest entry date the HR girl was READING what you wrote in your cover letter ... Lame, lame. This wasn't my first interview, and it won't be the last for sure, but if you are in HR and just starting... look up to your CEO and maybe start attending to interviews with them so that you can learn a bit from them. They are def doing better questions than you are.

Nach dem Bewerbungsschreiben ist nach eine Woche die Einladung zu einem telefonisches Gespräch mit einem Recruiter gekommen, dieses Gespräch ist sehr unpersönlich und man hat ab und zu das Gefühl nicht zugehört zu werden.

Introductory call, followed by a test and a technical Interview. Random questioning from code, no preparation, asking questions like why you are interested in GYG during a tech call, unclear and at some point uninterested.

Applied from overseas, had several interviews with tech and non-tech staff, including with the CEO, Johannes. Great experience. Probably the best recruiting experience I've ever had, and all that despite conducting interviews over skype and google hangout. They seem like a great company to work for. Logistically I wasn't able to make the move to Germany happen at the time, but hope to join them in the not-to-distant future. Stephen, the internal recruiter, was extremely helpful, honest, and patient throughout the process (as were all the team members I spoke with). Couldn't have asked for a better interview process.

Long. Their HQ is in Berlin, so time zone issues were bound to happen!
3 total interviews - 1st over the phone, 2 over skype.
First was with the head of my dept I was applying for, they then asked that I put together my own sales deck to be pitched during my next interview - scheduled to be 2 hours. Lastly, culture fit with head of operations and head of hr.

Prepare for:
Presentation
Role Playing

My advice to them would be a little more straight forward in asking questions.
Feedback would also be nice after so many weeks of interviewing.

All in all, very nice staff!

First of all, I want to say that I waited several weeks prior to posting a negative review because I wanted to give the company a chance to respond. I sent an email to the Coordination team as well as completed a survey indicating a negative experience.
From the start of the process, I knew that getting the offer would be a long shot because I had no industry specific experience, but believed that my sales and leadership skills as well as enthusiasm for the product would stand out. I wrote a unique and engaging Cover Letter and was thrilled to receive an invitation for a pre-recorded interview a week later. The questions were fairly standard and the HR gave several helpful hints on how to prepare for this step. It took them 2-3 weeks to get back to me with the next step and again I was very excited to be moved forward in the process. The next step was to interview with HR (culture fir interview) and a hiring manager for whom I was asked to prepare a presentation. The interview took place another 3 weeks due to the hiring manager being out of the office and trying to coordinate everyone's schedule in various time zones. I spent a considerable amount of time on researching the company, the destination (Orlando), the competition, the travel industry, etc.
Although initially we were experiencing some technical difficulties, the culture fit portion interview went great. The interviewer was engaging and made me feel welcome although the 2nd interviewer's audio kept breaking up and eventually the connection was lost. The next portion would be to interview with two Regional Sales Managers, one of whom would be my direct supervisor. The first interviewer introduced herself, explained her role and shared some of her successes with the company. The 2nd interviewer barely introduced himself which I thought was a bit odd. The interview started out a bit defensively when she challenged me on why I wanted to work for a smaller company and how I handled stress. As we went into my presentation, both interviewers kept interrupting me with questions. I thought that perhaps this was part of the role play, answered questions and continued to stay on course by following my Power Point Slides. A little over half of my presentation, the hiring manager said the following (I am paraphrasing): "I am going to stop you. We are looking for someone for this position who understands the market. OK? Goodbye."
So......Back to what I said earlier, I knew getting an offer would be a long shot, but is giving me 10 more minutes to finish a presentation too much to ask? I invested time to prepare yet the hiring manager could not possibly invest a fraction of that time to listen. Furthermore, it's amazing how one person can transform the entire interviewing process and by extension the image of the organization from a positive to a negative one.
