I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at N26 (Berlin) in Oct 2018
Interview
The interview process looked smooth initially. Went through all the stages and a low level socket programming assignment which I did. I got through all the stages until the final stage.
After this they requested for references which I provided and then they sent a rejection without stating reasons. I sent an email to ask for a more detailed feedback which wasn't responded to. It's a shame I spent so much energy trying to work with a company I'm a huge fan of and they can't even grace you with an honest feedback after so much effort.

Difficult interview
Application
I interviewed at N26 (Berlin)
Interview
It was the best interview experience, the interviewer would drain all the knowledge you have about any given concepts, they would test your knowledge from all possbile way, it was really interactive,
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at N26 (Hamburg) in Feb 2024
Interview
Talked to the recruiter on the first round and then received a home assignment. After finishing the assignment I received a very poor feedback that really seemed like the person had only read the readme file. In the end I am glad it did not workout.

Question 1
Mainly questions about previous roles, experience, salary expectations etc.
I applied online. I interviewed at N26 in Feb 2023
Interview
6 rounds of the hiring process (CV check, screening, Take-home test, Tech 1.0 (discussion about the code of the take-home test), Tech 2.0 (System Design), and Managerial interview) One of the best hiring processes I have ever had in my life: - fast feedback (in less than 24 hours) after every step - Respectful people - Learned a lot from every stage (especially the System Design phase)
Notes: - Be Honest and precise, these guys will ask you about the details of the details. - I passed all the interview stages, but unfortunately didn't get the offer at the end because of some bad points in both technical and behavioral interviews, I will improve my skills and definitely re-apply after 6 months.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
Take-home test: Medium network application system (but they really care about the structure and the README file, the security concerns, and how you could deploy it).
Managerial: - tell me about something I can't see in your CV. - what do you expect from your manager? - tell me about a conflict you had with your teammates and manager?
