I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Nebius in Apr 2026
Interview
Chat with a a friendly recruiter then first round was a leetcode style followed by some ML questions. The interviewer was good. Then, in the second round I had a complete jerk as an interviewer. He was asking questions in a condescending way, implying you won't be able to answer this. Like a predefined bias. Then, on the second half he brought an interview topic that was never mentioned by the recruiter. When I said this was not mentioned by the recruiter and I did not prepare it at all. He proceeded anyway and did not even let me think; He was answering himself the questions before I could think. At the end, I asked about what would happen next, He said if it is an accept you will get feedback and if it is a reject you will also know and finished his sentence with a laugh when saying the word reject!!!!
I will never interview with this company again. They should train their interviewers. It does not look good on the company!
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Nebius (Amsterdam) in Feb 2026
Interview
The recruiters found me themselves on LinkedIn and reached out to me with an offer. After their initial message, we scheduled an introductory call to discuss my background, experience, and expectations. Following that, I was invited to proceed with the formal interview process, which included several technical and HR interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions start off very simple and cover well-known Linux basics. If you answer them, they go deeper into the topic, then even deeper, and deeper again :) If you don’t answer, they move on to the next one.
