The process consists of 3 interviews
1- hr typical questions nothings surprising
2- interview with the CTO , discussion about my background the projects I worked on
3- technical interview, unfortunately, I got interviewed by a devOps engineer and a junior developer
I applied for a senior software engineer
The interviewers didn’t have enough knowledge to even understand what I was talking about.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Payaut (Amsterdam) in Jan 2022
Interview
The interview process was quite straightforward. It consisted of 3 rounds, one phone screen, one technical presentation and one team matching round. The phone screen was as expected: a short call asking my motivation, technical background etc.
The presentation round was quite interesting. I had to give a presentation about a personal project and I quite enjoyed it. The recruiter called me back the next day saying the interviewer was impressed and that I made it onto the final round.
The final round was a pleasant chat with a lead developer and another software engineer. They asked some typical behavioural questions. I got very positive feedback after 2 days and I accepted the offer.

Home assignment
Discuss the home assignment
The last part of the interview was taken with two guys, one dev and the other had a higher position. The second guy, was extremely rude, kept talking over me, raised his voice, started talking to his cat and I got confused when he talks to me or when he talks to the cat. No intention to make me comfortable, he actually made some rude comments about me being a little anxious.
It was the worst interview that I've ever had and before I got rejected because they decided they no longer need the position (wanted a senior dev, I applied for junior-mid position) I was notified by the hr agency that if I get the interview they would offer me way less salary that I've asked. Basically, they've waisted my time and also not a pleasant experience.
