99chairs: Bewerbungsprozess und Vorstellungsgespräch

I had a first round Skype interview with the product manager. Second round was another Skype call with the the same product lead, Head Dev, HR person and one of the founders. I had to talk to all of them individually and then complete two case studies. I found everyone to be very friendly and nothing was unexpected. The second call was almost 3 hours Including the two case studies.

Two rounds with final one in which I show how I work and what my process looks like. I was able to get into the final round of interviews in which I showed my work and talk to several people from the company. I was supposedly one of the last four applicants, but after the last round I never heard of them. I would expect at least an email since I was in the final round. Also, the response time and communication during the initial rounds was really bad.

After the application I was approached for a Skype interview, which was very nice. Unfortunately they did not clearly have an understanding of what exactly they were looking in the position so instead of communicating clearly that something was a requirement, 99chairs went around and offered some other scenarios/positions to only then a day later (after I accepted their suggestion) send a generic email with a rejection.

First one-to-one interview with recruiting team via video chat. It was mainly about introducing yourself and your previous working experience. (not much about education) And they share with you about the current status and the future plans and development of the company in the next one to two years.

There were 3 steps: 30min skype call, 3h coding challenge, 3h interview. For the 3h coding challenge you have a scheduled timeframe, but they messed up to email the instructions at the planned time - twice! Overall I got the impression they are very unorganized and mess things up a lot.

Für die Rolle des Content Editors hatte ich insgesamt 5 Interviewrunden mit verschiedenen Abteilungen. Insgesamt ging es bei den meisten Fragen darum, mich und meinen Hintergrund besser kennen zu lernen. Alle Gespräche waren sehr freundlich und angenehm.

Mindestens sechs verschiedene Gesprächspartner vor Ort sowie ein Telefoninterview mit der HR vorab, Prozesse und Fragen wiederholen sich immer wieder. Es geht hauptsächlich darum, ob man ins Team passt oder nicht.
