The interview process at Qonto was one of the most well-structured and supportive experiences I've had. It included five main steps: 1. Initial screening with Talent Acquisition Manager 2. Engineering Manager interview 3. Take-home technical assignment (real-world scenario) 4. Technical debrief with Staff Engineer 5. Final interview with the Head of Web After each step, I received a 15–20 minute feedback call. They shared clear, constructive insights and were always available to answer questions quickly. Special thanks to Julie, who ensured the whole process ran smoothly and transparently. Each interviewer was collaborative and thoughtful, the conversations felt more like working with future teammates than traditional assessments. - Engineering Manager walked through live coding with me and answered my questions with great openness. He also shared valuable insights into Qonto’s ongoing migration from Ember to React highlighting their incremental, component-first approach and the importance of cross-functional collaboration. He emphasized that engineers are expected to contribute to both code and decisions, and shared how Qonto applies PDCA cycles to continuously improve. - Staff Engineer asked well-rounded questions about architectural decisions, accessibility, testing strategies, and SCSS structure. He also gave context on Qonto’s engineering structure, RFC process, and how teams align on shared standards and regulatory constraints across markets. The final interview with the Head of Frontend focused on product mindset, shared ownership, and long-term improvement. It felt more like a mutual conversation than an evaluation centered on collaboration, diversity, trust, and creating a meaningful engineering environment. After all, I was confident that Qonto was a place where I could grow and contribute meaningfully - not only as an engineer, but also as part of a diverse/supportive team. The process moved quickly, with feedback within 24 hours and everything wrapped up in about 20 days. It gave me confidence that Qonto values not just technical skill, but mindset and alignment with their values. - Fast, clear feedback after each step - Realistic technical assignment - Supportive, responsive Talent team - Strong focus on collaboration and culture - Several steps, but each one adds value

The process consisted of several video interviews mixed with some small coding exercises, as well as a take-home test with subsequent review in a call. It took just 20 days from first contact to offer and I received some feedback after each step. The tone of the conversations was always very positive and friendly, people were happy (and had time) to answer questions, exchange opinions and go into considerable details on relevant topics. The focus was mainly on the practical experience, there were no trick questions.
