mobile.de Bewerbung: Fragen im Vorstellungsgespräch

Bewerbung

Ich habe mich online beworben. Der Vorgang dauerte mehr als 3 Monate. Vorstellungsgespräch absolviert im Juli 2018 bei mobile.de (Kleinmachnow).

Vorstellungsgespräch

First step was a screening call with a recruiting manager, then a phone call with hiring manager. Subsequently, I was invited to a 3-hours visit on the campus in Dreilinden and was asked to work on a case study.
Interview-marathon in Dreilinden included presentation of the case study, classical interview with some tricky questions, meeting tech teams, coffee talk with Chief Product and Tech Officer which gave me some insights into business but also ways of working, internal politics and culture.
The atmosphere was great and I instantly knew I wanted to work with those people on these projects.
I found it pretty great that I had to prepare a case study. During the presentation, I was asked a very smart questions and it gave me the feeling what can I expect in my job, what are the most important apsects and also the confidence that it's clear to both parties that and what I'm able to contribute.

Interview process is normally fast. First screening with HR, then a call with some sort of manager, finally an on site interview with different engineers.

The onsite interview is very refreshing, no serious technical questions or test, mostly a tell me about your past. For a senior position a rather easy.

You might get invited to spend a day in the office and do some shared work with an engineer, but also this is very low stress.

Ich habe mich über einen Personalvermittler beworben. Vorstellungsgespräch absolviert bei mobile.de.

Vorstellungsgespräch

Had several lengthy calls and video calls with the recruiter who asked about everything from background to skill based questions.
All information was passed along to Mobile.de who decided they wanted to get me in for a face to face interview.
Face to Face interview went very well, lasted 2.5 hours. However was a complete waste of time, feedback was perfect fit for the role but not enough years of experience on paper (something they could have gauged before bringing me to a face to face interview).
I was under the misguided impression that the interview may bring an offer, however there was no intention of an offer and I was being used as a market indicator for them.
