I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Passbase (Berlin) in Mar 2022
Interview
A fantastical experience with a simple and transparent process, all the phases
are carried out as if they were a very comfortable chat
- First a chat with the direct manager of the area. It served well to align expectations and brief knowledge about the role. Some technical questions were asked too
- A fantastical culture interview with the People Manager about your perception of an ideal company and how we deal with inclusivity and diversity
- Take-home test about architecture design + technical interview about the test made
- Quick chat with CTO about de business and general perspectives of the job
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- How would you resolve this problem in this scenario with this architecture?
- Why do you use that tool and what are the trade-offs between the other one?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Passbase in Feb 2022
Interview
First step was a discussion with the hiring manager. She asked incredible, direct, and challenging questions about my experience and how I'd apply my experience to several scenarios at Passbase.

Question 1
What are some tactics that are part of your Marketing playbook?
Poor communication from start to finish. Disorganized hiring managers who lack prioritization. They are flaky to the point of ghosting their candidates without providing feedback or professional courtesy. Having gone through multiple stages, it was the worst interview process I've ever had. Overall, I had a terrible interview experience at Passbase. I don't recommend anyone speak with them.
