I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Personio in Sep 2023
Interview
Had a really good experience - the interviewers were all excellent, and the recruiters were communicative and supportive. I'd happily apply again or recommend them to people. Interview process was a recruiter screen, followed by an hour-long chat with an engineering manager focusing on technical experience. Following this was a technical interview with two engineers. The first part was to walk them through a pre-provided Kotlin codebase, and then to fix a bug. The second part was system design-y, with questions about how the service might be scaled, and what the problems/bottlenecks might be. Finally, there were two interviews, one focusing on culture fit, with competency-based questions focusing on behaviour, and another much more informal interview with a department head.
