Fragen im Vorstellungsgespräch bei GetYourGuide

1.Initial screening call. 2.Take home coding task 3.HR/final round All the questions were pretty much basic. They basically check if everything is fine for giving the coding challenge. Which you have to complete in the given days.

first no response at all then a late response overall awkward experience, I have enough experience in the field but had to wait for ages for their first response that does not look professional decided not ot go further with them

I did the first phone call interview. The recruiter was very kind and friendly. It lasted 30min. There were grneral questions about the company position salary. Than aftet 5 days i was invited for the manager interview which lasted 30min it was straight to the point very friendly and easy from my point of view. Questions like: Why us? Technical questions about the position. I didnt get an offer cause they told i was overaualified. But in overall it was a very pleasent experience.

Unfortunately the values that the company touts were not upheld. Clarity Commitment Learning Passion Positivity Applied for the role based on linkedIn claiming I was in the top 10% of the profile and recommended I apply for the job. However was sent an email stating that the role was indefinitely postponed. The manner in which the email was written out communicates an unfriendly and robotic tone which goes against the very values the company was founded on. I reached out and informed the CEO on how I felt they treated candidates but was sent a clarification by the recruitment partner which tried to justify what they did The company would like to attract senior talent but the recruiter doesn't seem to be clued in on how to respect them

Process was very long, very unclear and despite initial promises very time consuming. Tests were alright, but impressions from certain team members were pretty approximate. I passed 5-6 rounds of interviews, 2 of which were practical coding tests. I fulfilled all the requirements in both tests, and went smooth through cultural interviews. I got rejected because I asked questions, like, which tool should I use, or what technique is preferred. Tip for interviewers: when someone asks what tool should he use, and names few of them, don't suppose he doesn't know, but think that they maybe can solve problem in the number of ways and wants to adjust to your input and company standards. Like this, I feel like I completely wasted my time on average company, with above average funding. That funding is also questionable, as company pushed workers to receive salary in stocks, but keeps hiring still?

I've been through several time consuming steps (online test, written and spoken, video interview with a software, video interview with 2 managers for 1 hour, etc) spending lot of time and energy. They dismissed me with an automatic rejection email. Not a feedback, not a single person took the initiative to write down two lines to explain the reason behind. After hours and hours spent with their articulate selection process, quite disappointing output.

The process is articulated and well organized, but still very human and friendly. It consists of phone, video, business case and in person meetings eith teams and managers. All in all a very interesting process that can also be of benefit for professional growth

a recruiter reached out to me for multiple IC positions and pitched about the company. had a phone interview with another recruiter for soft skills type of stuff. invited to a virtual onsite. asked to present an architecture I have worked in the past, no one asked any question about it and there was never a conversation of it during the interview stages so all the preparation was for nothing and a waste of time. their design interview was weird as they ask to rebuild their very own website and it was conducted by 3 interviewers. I started designing the system with estimations and scale numbers but they were not interested in that part; I quickly jumped to the high-level design by that request and fulfilled the functional requirements given. They were happy with the design. Later I got the feedback that I haven't used numbers I have given for the scale of the system; which is not true as they specifically told me they were not interested in that part not data models of systems which are crucial for estimations. I also had chats with CTO and engineering managers with some classic behavioral questions, nothing fancy. some cautions before investing time in their process - covid tested the validity of their business (multiple layoffs) and I believe still does - seems like a business-oriented company rather than engineering-oriented - not a very high bar on the hiring part as the process does not seem to be testing engineering skills - seems like a lot of technical debt exist on the engineering side, tech choices seems to be not very well thought and follows what popular in the industry

Applied myself through GYG website. Got contacted by HR for the first screening interview. After screening got take home task, that should be completed in 48h. 10 days after submitting the solution got an email that the position got filled and they called the search off without any feedback on code review. Asked them to at least give a feedback on code review didn't hear back since then. Disappointing!

Proceeded relatively quickly from initial chat to on-site interview with 4 people, then two followup zoom interviews with senior management. Most interviews were well organised and asked relevant questions. Average difficulty questions on hard skills. Culture fit and personality questions had a particular focus though.
