I applied in-person. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Backbase (Amsterdam) in Nov 2022
Interview
The interview process contained 4 steps: 1. Screening interview with a recruiter. It was very insightful even with some technical details 2. Interview with the Engineering team. It was mostly about the experience and a very productive discussion about current processes in the company 3. Interview with the Product team. A lot of insides about collaboration between product and engineering, goal setting, etc. 4. Case study. I received a case study and was asked to prepare a 20 minutes presentation about the case and my ideas for possible solutions. With the in-person representation in the office, I could ask my questions to more people in person. After each step, I received very good and structured feedback. Overall experience was excellent. I can recommend to everyone to try this process with Backbase

Question 1
One of the questions was about previous experience handling performance reviews and communicating results
Overall easy and well structured, they will reach out and the interviewers are friendly and they want to know you better and some technical questions and problem solving, nothing out of the box
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Backbase (Hyderābād) in Sep 2024
Interview
I have been giving leadership interviews and I must say, Backbase has really followed all standards throughout the process. And complete process was candidate supportive and having positive intent of hiring. On top of that I never felt, I am not part of Backbase in this interview process. So kudos to complete team, who has in-visioned and crafted this inclusive and respectful experience.
