I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Fever (Madrid) in Aug 2025
Interview
Proceso largo y exigente, con expectativas poco realistas y un feedback pobre. Más de mes y medio muchas horas de trabajo, para recibir una oferta final muy inferior a lo acordado inicialmente, a pesar de tener un feedback muy bueno.
El proceso es como se describe en los demás comentarios:
1 - Entrevista con RR. HH.: el protagonista no eres tú, sino la empresa. Te la venden como la quinta esencia.
2 - Prueba técnica para hacer en casa: dicen que lleva ~4 horas, pero para un mínimo de calidad y no quedar descartado necesitas entre 10 y 20 horas.
3 - Entrevista técnica: buscarán la mínima pega a tu práctica, por muy bien hecha que esté. También harán preguntas rebuscadas (p. ej., cómo funciona por dentro una función específica del motor de base de datos que ellos usan o cómo mejorarías la latencia de su infraestructura para otro continente). Es muy difícil saberlo si no has resuelto exactamente esos problemas; parece pensado para que no respondas y usarlo luego como feedback negativo.
4 - Entrevista con el Engineering Manager: repasan toda tu trayectoria.
5 - Llamada de feedback y oferta: el feedback fue inexistente; lo tuve que pedir por email. La oferta fue un 20% menos de lo hablado en la primera entrevista. Aunque el feedback positivo reconocía conocimiento técnico profundo, me bajaron a nivel “medio” diciendo que mis conocimientos de bases de datos e infraestructura son básicos, basándose en esas preguntas tan rebuscadas.
Casi mes y medio y muchísimas horas de trabajo para esto: una pérdida absoluta de tiempo. Si no te importa perder el tiempo, es un buen proceso para practicar entrevistas, pero que no te sorprenda la oferta final, porque va a ser decepcionante.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
¿Como funciona internamente la función X del software Y?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Fever in Dec 2025
Interview
The initial screening was a bit unexpected, as it was conducted almost entirely in Spanish without prior confirmation of my language proficiency, and the format felt more like a presentation than a two-way conversation.
Additionally, there were significant scheduling challenges. My technical interview was rescheduled at the last minute due to internal conflicts, and I experienced a period of silence regarding whether the meeting was postponed or canceled. While I appreciate the eventual apology, the process concluded abruptly when I was informed the position had been filled after these delays.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Fever (Barcelona) in Sep 2025
Interview
There were several processes in the interview, as is typical for Software Engineer positions. One was a technical exercise, and the other involved discussing the technical exercise with a software engineer from the company.

Question 1
I was given three days to complete an entire feature that required the use of various technologies. It included everything: clean code, architecture, performance, my own contributions, etc.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Fever in Aug 2025
Interview
The technical assignment was not particularly complex, but it required over 10 hours of work. Combined with the two-hour technical interview, it felt like a significant workload for a recruitment process.
During the technical interview, specifically the system design part, several questions were asked in rapid succession, with very little time to think or structure responses. The questions were quite closed-ended and seemed focused on validating one specific solution, with limited context or opportunity to explore alternatives.
My impression was that the process was more focused on finding someone who had already faced the team's exact challenges, rather than evaluating broader technical reasoning or analytical ability.
