I applied online. I interviewed at Preply (London, England)
Interview
Started with a recruiter call, more stages (engineering manager, coding exercise, review etc) to follow. Generally very friendly, and the product seems genuinely interesting, everyone i've talked to was nice and knowledgeful, no complaints from my side.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Preply (Barcelona) in Feb 2024
Interview
Many rounds of interviews: Recruiter call, tech screen, tech interview, EM&PM interview, culture fit. All pretty standard. Everyone was nice and it all went well up to this point. The next part is where they messed up really bad. The recruiter called me to say I would receive an offer, and then they came up with a last minute "chat" (not an interview - literally how they worded it) with a director and another engineer. I was never told this interview would be behavioral so I could prepare my stories, and since I wasn't actively applying for jobs I could not pull them out of thin air during the call so naturally they weren't the best examples of my experiences. The rejected me afterwards commenting on my lack of experience and excitement.

Question 1
Tech screen - How would you set up tasks that run periodically?
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Preply
Interview
Bad experience. I did the interview and I did not receive feedback. I had to ask them after several weeks and they told me that I did not pass even though I answered all the technical questions.

Question 1
Technical and not technical questions, always with respect and with a lot of sense.
