I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at DeepL (Cologne)
Interview
The interview started by testing my knowledge on databases and technologies that I know, after that the interviewer delved into questions related to backend/frontend. For example, how to update the state in React? How would you manage the global state? As for the backend, just asked how to architect an app + how to design a database
After initial recruiter screening there was live coding session in .Net to implement DFS in Google Docs - no IDE. Hiring manager was providing hints when stuck. Very cooperative atmosphere
Application followed by a link to schedule a chat with a recruiter a day later, chatted with the recruiter and discussed various aspects of the company. Would have been followed by technical interviews but I withdrew at this point.
