Interview
step 1) Phone screen with recruiter. He asked common questions about motivation and salary expectations
step 2) Coding challenge: develop springboot web service, which performs operations in O(1) complexity.
I developed a solution, which has O(1) complexity, but got negative feedback (they provide feedback, but I was not agree with some notes), I was sure that we can discuss my solution on the next step.

Interview
The process started with a call from the recruiter to talk about N26. The following steps were very difficult. They send you the instructions with all steps, but in short, there's a coding challenge, a live pair programming session, a theorical interview, and a manager interview. Each step more difficult than the other. The interview itself was very complete and I really enjoyed how they conducted it. The whole process took around 1 month.
