      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Jun 19, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Hamburg
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ABOUT YOU (Hamburg) in May 2021

      Interview

      I didn't apply for AboutYou, their recruitment team reached me on my Stackoverflow account. They asked me if I'm interested in one of their vacancies and I said why not?. We did an HR interview .. the lady asked for my resume, she added me on Linked in and I sent her my CV. After 2 weeks I sent her a message asking about the status of my application, but she just keeps seeing the message without any response. They had a position for senior software engineer open which I select to continue with. After 3 weeks I got this message from their HR: "I received Feedback from the relevant department and they liked your profile a lot, however, they do not see a perfect match with any of our vacant positions right now.". There was no reason given actually. Usually, when there is a recruiting process in my company, I become part of it to participate for the technical/personal evaluation. I just saw how bad their recruiting process and I'm happy we didn't go for further steps. This is one of the companies that will fall to the ground only because of unqualified employees and if you want to see unprofessional behaviour, just apply :)

      Dear candidate, First of all, thank you for your feedback - it's a pity that you had such a bad experience. I will get to work on it right away and discuss it with the team. Of course something like this should not happen. Sometimes messages get lost on LI, but that's no excuse for you getting feedback so late. I really want to apologize for the inconvenience - because as I mentioned before: something like this should & must not happen. I would be happy if you contact me again by email so we can discuss the incident. The Mail is: tech-recuiting@aboutyou.com Best regards, Katrin

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Berlin
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at ABOUT YOU (Berlin) in Apr 2022

      Interview

      I did the first non-technical interview with a nice guy. After one week I did the technical interview with the same guy and a product lead. The interview was about discussing how to solve some real-life problems. Nothing to complain about the interviews. The problems came after. They stopped answering my emails and after 2 weeks they called me back to say that someone else with more skills had taken the job. They also told me that they are trying to check if I can fit in another team and in the afternoon he would come back to me with an answer. After one week I'm still waiting to hear something from them. It's not professional to let the people wait too much time just for an answer. I accepted another offer from another company, of course.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They prepared a schema and asked me to find a way to solve, step by step, some problems when importing very big CSV files, insert the entries in the DB and show them on a page.
