Vorstellungsgespräch

Nach meinem Bewerbungseingang kam die Einladung zu einem kurzfristigen Gespräch, in dem mir einiges über das Unternehmen und den ausgeschriebenen Job erklärt wurde. Die Stimmung war gut und der Ansprechpartner sehr freundlich und offen. Das Gespräch fand direkt in den Räumlichkeiten statt, dadurch habe ich einen guten Einblick in das Unternehmen und die dortigen Arbeitsstimmung bekommen. Es war ein erstes Kennenlernen, im Anschluß dazu bekam ich die Einladung zu einer Design-Challenge.

Vorstellungsgespräch

I was referred by an employee -- You interview with the hiring manager, are given a "homework assignment", and meet with stakeholders in business unit. It was a fairly straightforward process. The profile they were looking for was straightforward and they were clear on expectations and communicated the process effectively

Phone call with HR, then an in-person interview with team. About a month process - everyone was super nice and communicated what they were looking for in a good candidate.

Honestly the overall interview process was pretty seamless. Soundclouds headquarters are in Berlin and I am based in LA so there were several Skype interviews followed by an in-person interview. Initially, I did not know whether or not I was doing well with my interviews but my advice to any applicants is to be yourself. The overall process went smooth and on-boarding was a seamless process. Any questions you may have, get answered before you can ask. That's the type of experience/ standard that should be modeled B2B.

Vorstellungsgespräch

Brief phone screening, 15 minutes. HR manager calls you, then director of your specific department gets in contact soon after. Quick turn around on the interview from application (1 week for me).

Vorstellungsgespräch

A recruiter reached out to me about a role at Soundcloud. We had a brief phone conversation to discuss the role. I was told she would be reviewing all candidates with hiring manager soon.

I was contacted a few days later to provide availability times for an in-person interview with the hiring manager. I provided my availability and then never heard anything back for days. I followed up and was told they were putting the role "on hold" until after the holidays. Of course, I never heard back again and the job listing was re-posted.

Either Soundcloud is a company where they put a role on hold for weeks and don't think they need to notify the candidates they have left up in the air - candidates they sought out no less, or Soundcloud is a company where HR lies to candidates. Either way, Soundcloud is a company that acts unprofessionally and wastes people's time.

Process took ~2 weeks. Everyone was nice and seemed smart. Phone interview was thorough and professional. In-person interview was a nice conversation, but all fluff, as if they already knew who they were going to hire, and I was a due diligence interview. Feels like they literally didn't ask me any in-person questions! After I was rejected, I asked for feedback and heard nothing back from anyone.

Vorstellungsgespräch

The first stage was an pretty heavy home exam, on which I worked for a week.
The second stage was on-site interview with the manager and one of the analysts in the team. The interviews were more general and descriptive.
I have been said that the HR coordinator should be back to me with an answer. SILENCE since then. I wrote several thank you email, to each of my interviewers, and several status check in to the HR. SILENCE. Very disrespectful from their side, what does it take to write a few words, "Thank you for your time, but we have decided to move on with other candidates." That's what it takes.
