Preply

Application

I applied online. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Preply (Barcelona (Spain)) in April 2020.

Interview

I applied for the position the 15/02/2020
I got contacted about my application by email the 15/04/2020 (after 2 months)
The first interview, with HR, has been done the 17/04/2020
The technical test has been submitted the 22/04/2020
The interview with hiring manager and a future colleague has been done the 28/04/2020
Finally, the last email received from Preply was the 04/05/2020, telling me that they were moving forward with other candidates.

I requested a feedback the 05/05/2020, but haven't got any answer so far.

The interview process was good, specifically the technical test that I enjoy doing.
Unfortunately, I got my first interview 2 months after I applied for the position, while I was not anymore actively looking for a new job due to the pandemic, and I didn't prepare it correctly since all went very quick after being contacted.
The technical test went well: One question about logic, one about probabilities, one about scripting (using loops), one about SQL, and one about story telling. I really enjoyed doing it, and it seems that all went well, except the SQL part where I have some gaps (I don't use SQL currently at work) that I am currently filling (window functions).

I had the interview with the hiring manager, and I knew that I messed it up (which I can only blame myself) and was expecting a negative outcome. The last interview, with a colleague, was informal and very pleasant. Good (and kind) people seem to be working at Preply.

However, I would really have appreciated to get a feedback from the hiring manager after I requested one. So far my last email asking for a feedback has not been answered. I hope my feedback here to Preply will be useful, though!
