I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at MEDWING in Jun 2021
Interview
Interview was the worst that I have seen so far. For engineering roles there are 3 interviews (1) Tech screening (2) Behavioral (3) Code pair round.
I was invited to tech screening round and it was not something you'd expect in a tech interview. First of all interviewer was late which kinda of reflects on sincerity. I was asked bunch of vague questions and I was almost always interrupted in between of my answers because interviewer directly wanted to cut to the chase.

I had a screening call with a recruiter, followed by a take home test. The following steps would have been: Tech Q/A, Behavioural Test and finally Pair programming.
The tech take home test was from a 3rd party provider. 3 canned tests, timed to 2.5 hours - one had a bug in implementation. The software records everything you do from typing, searching, copy/pasting, mouse movements etc. This is where i failed their criteria - when asked for some feedback they provided me with how many points I got on the canned tests - no feedback on approach or actual code, just the titles scores from the test.
Very proactive and nice people but overall very low effort on the employer side: from canned questions in the interview, to canned tech test, to decisions and feedback at glance.

Question 1
Apart from a nice chat, some very canned questions caught my attention: describe a situation where you didn't agree with someone? Describe a failure and what you learned form it?
Recruiter indicated that the "Behavioural test" would be more of the same.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at MEDWING (Berlin) in Jan 2020
Interview
It was the worst interview in the last few years.
First of all you have to teach your interviewer how interview should be:
1) Interviewer should present himself.
2) ask candidate to tell about himself.
3) then can be interview itself
4) and at the end at least 10 minutes for candidate to ask questions.
I haven’t seen such arrogant people for a long time. And i hope will not see you again.
The interview itself was like a circus:
- I was asked really many theoretical questions from the university computer science program.
- interviewer had no clue in questions he was asking.
- when time run out, he didn't stop, but just said: "We are running out of time, but I have few more questions". And he continued! I'm not kidding! 20 more minutes!
- he doesn't know how to organize an interview
- it was chaotic: jumping from one topic to another
- he didn't calculate the time it takes for all these questions
I'm really regret about wasted time.
