      Software Engineer Interview

      Aug 18, 2021

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Planet

      Interview

      First I had the recruiter call and the HM call and then I was giving a technical assignment which was fairly trivial. After submitting the technical assignment the recruiter emailed me for an onsite interview. Once the onsite interview was complete the recruiter called me to tell me that the interview went well and asked me to wait for a few more days so that they can get a confirmation before moving forward. After that they ghosted me. I have never come across any company which is so unprofessional and based on all the other reviews it appears to be a regular practice. I suggest that you don't waste your time here. They talk about equity pay, inclusiveness and belonging but they don't even have the basic courtesy to send an email if they don't want to move forward.

      I interviewed at Planet

      Interview

      I was told it was the same interview questions as the interns. So I over prepared and was thrown off by the questions. I followed up a week later, was told by the recruiter she would talk to the team and let me know. Followed up again the next week and never got anything back.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Planet

      Interview

      I recently had an interview scheduled with them, and after preparing, clearing my schedule, and waiting for the call, they canceled at the last minute because they had “moved forward with other candidates.” This was not just an inconvenience—this was pure disrespect for a candidate’s time and effort. If they were already in the final stages, why even schedule my interview? This reflects poor communication, zero accountability, and a complete lack of professionalism. After reading other Glassdoor reviews, I see that this isn’t just bad luck—it’s their standard hiring practice. Candidates being strung along for months, ghosted, misled about offers, and having interviews canceled minutes before they start is a recurring pattern with their recruiting team. If you’re thinking of applying, be prepared for delays, disorganization, and last-minute cancellations. Unless you enjoy wasting your time, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Berlin
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Planet (Berlin)

      Interview

      Interview consisted of HR conversation, Engineering Manager + team mate interview and Staff Engineer interview. The team mate interview was confusing. The Staff Engineer conversation was great as we shared our experiences. All in all, I wasn't convinced at first, but got more optimistic after the last interview.
