I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Wolters Kluwer in May 2023
Interview
Interview process was 6 (yes 6!) different people that you have to speak to, spending a high number of hours in interviews, scheduling and preparing for them to tell you that they selected someone else. Not only is it completely inappropriate to waste someone's time to that extent if you aren't pretty certain that you want them to work for you, but they didn't even have the decency to follow-up with me and advise that the position had been filled until I emailed them. Maybe because I was overqualified for the job since I had been working on a competitor product, as well as in the exact industry for over 9 years, that they chose another candidate, but this should have been decided earlier on in the process instead of wasting people's precious time. Really uncoordinated and distasteful interview process that just gave me a bad sense of the company in general.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing out of the ordinary, normal position questions.
1 hour talk with recruiter, 1 hour interview with hiring manager. Mostly talking about my background, experiences and my thoughts on the current products, including ideas on their improvement. Both interviewers were friendly, but my candidacy did not go through another round due to appearance of candidates with more relevant experience

Question 1
Tell me about yourself, Why This company, Why this role, Why the Netherlands
Six weeks, met the team, fantastic transparency. Multiple remote interviews. I suppose this would depend on the size of the team. Everyone was friendly and warm. They had a fantastic energy and were clearly mission driven.
