I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Gelato (Barcelona) in Oct 2024
Interview
First a personally test and a timed technical test (Hackerrank)
In hours I got invited for an interview with the recruiter; this was a pleasant experience and less than a day later I got an invitation for an interview with a tech lead. This was a total disaster, a person who was barely understandable due to his horrible accent and bad English asking questions hardly related to the job... I was (almost) glad when the rejection came as it saved me from the 3 member panel interview, the live coding session and the interview with the CEO.

I applied online. I interviewed at Gelato in Jan 2026
Interview
First, they gave me an IQ test. It was a clear signal that the company is living in the past by believing such tests actually work. After that, I had a screening interview with a recruiter. It was not very pleasant interview. They asked questions just to cut me short, seemingly trying to find a silly reason to reject me.
In the end they rejected me with some generic email
Smooth and Professional Interview Process”
The interview process was well-structured and efficient. It began with an initial phone screening, where the recruiter provided clear details about the role and the company. This was followed by a technical assessment that was challenging but relevant to the job. The interviews with the team were conversational and focused on both technical skills and cultural fit. Everyone I interacted with was professional, responsive, and approachable, which made the experience less stressful. The process was transparent, with timely updates and clear next steps at each stage. Overall, it left a positive impression of the company.
