I applied online. I interviewed at Bynder (Rotterdam)
Interview
4 Stage Process:
- First interview with two engineers
- Coding challenge - Build something in 5 days
- Meet the team
- HR Interview / Negotiate Contract
I ultimately turned down the offer. While the benefits look tempting at first ("unlimited" holidays, chair massages etc), payment was almost 30% below industry standard and the pension plan was a joke too. I felt offended by the offer and turned it down in the end.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly the usual stuff - CV, profession, plans, strength & weaknesses etc. The interviews with the engineers were fair and they came across as nice people. The coding challenge wasn't too hard either. The last interview with HR, which was expected to be about the contract turned out to be annoying. The woman on the phone tried to do some sort of stress interview or whatever she thought that would be. After two rounds and an assignment that went all well, this felt a bit out of place.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bynder (Barcelona) in Feb 2025
Interview
The process consisted of three interviews: first, one with HR, then a technical interview with team members, and finally, I was given a tech assessment to complete within a week, followed by a final interview to present and defend it.

Interview
Do not waste your time.
First stage was an HR iterview, than technical one after which I was offered to implement a test assignment. I spent a lot of personal time to complete it. On subsequent interview where we discussed its implementation, it looked like the team was very pleased with it. After this interview, they told me they would return with an answer in approximetly 10 days. They came after 10 days with a response that they are still not able to answer. And, finally, after 1 week more when I wrote them by myself, they sent a refusal from 'no-reply' email. We can conclude that it is better not to take their test assignments, because there is a high chance that you will waste a lot of time and it will not even matter how much effort you put in and how well you do. They apparently considered me for 2.5 weeks as a fallback and at the end they spat at me with a message from the mail that cannot be answered.
