I applied online. I interviewed at Pair Finance (Berlin)
Interview
I had one interview. It was based on experience based questions + interactive coding test. The questions were not very hard but complexity oriented. The interviewers were not very warm but they were not arrogant either.

Question 1
Write a code doing XXX task. then tell its complexity and optimize your own code.
It was a recruiter call, a task that lasts about a week , a technical interview (Python + SQL + technical QA) with the data team. It was frustrating as the technical interview was not well orgnaized and was primarily conducted by a working student.

Question 1
What is the difference between bagging and boosting?
The recruitment process was well-structured.
My application was processed quickly, and the interview was both organised and competence-based.
What stood out the most was the personalised feedback I received after the interview—something that’s rare to find these days.
Good luck, PAIR Finance, on your recruiting journey! You’re definitely on the right track.
