I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Bitpanda (Barcelona) in Apr 2023
Interview
30min HR interview with questions about experience and motivations. Interview with 2 Trading Operations Specialists about financial markets, basic knowledge questions. Both went well as per their feedback but someone with more experience went into the next round, so not sure why they put me into the process and only interviewed with people with less experience than the actual role.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bitpanda in Jan 2022
Interview
The first interview was a very basic conversation with an HR employee on past working experience.
Second interview was with the Head of the Department, again on past experiences and on motivation.
Third interview again with the Head of the Department and with a Operator of the Department. They asked technical questions on blockchain/cryptos, equities and risk management. Questions were very basic and I had the impression that no one there knew what the answer should have been.

Question 1
On the second interview, a question was "what motivated you to apply for this job". On the third interview, questions were like "what would you do after you realised that the day before you left the position unhedged", "how a bitcoin is mined", "would you still allow clients to trade a stock, whose trading was halted".
