Interview
I interviewed for a job in Berlin. The interview process with Moovel went very smooth and the communication always professional, transparent, open and friendly. It contains more or less 4 steps. It began with an initial video call with the hiring manager, who had contact with me throughout the whole hiring journey. I passed that and got invited to do a coding challenge, which I had need to submit to GitHub. Once that got approved, I got invited to meet the engineering head for the team I applied to. Part of that interview were some details regarding the coding challenge and also a discussion and some specific questions on code, technologies and general viewpoints on tackling challenges. I passed that and got invited to meet the whole team of the squad I applied for, to test if I fitted culturally. I met them in a very relaxed but curious atmosphere. It was an exchange on experiences, mindset and technologies rather than a traditional interview. It felt good to meet the ones you will be working with on day to day business. I got quick feedback after each step, and was always well informed of the next steps to come. Overall a very good interview experience.

The recruiting process will consist of an interview with someone from People Operations, followed by an interview with the Head of Engineering. The further steps will consist of meeting the core tech team of the company for further technical skills evaluation. There is a possibility that you are given a coding challenge but it wasn’t my case.

Interview
Very fast and efficient screening and interview process. I give kudos to the recruiter- follow up was timely and clear. All questions answered and a good overview of benefits described when discussing potential of an interview in order to give prospective employees an idea of total compensation going in.
A couple of things that could use improvement, however and why I give this interview a negative rating. First, they knew my salary range and if the hiring decision maker didn't want to pay it, they should never have interviewed me. But maybe the decision was really based on somethng else, and that's the over-reaction by an executive to a question posed about the company's overall financials. If I'm working somewhere, I need to know volume of business, and I think its a fair ask. The hostile over reaction tells me maybe that's how that person reacts to tough questions overall. Not good for an executive.
Seemed like this place had smart people, with good products. It will take some growing up in terms of professionalism in order to hire the best people mooving forward.
