It went pretty smoothly at start. I have talk with recruiter in end of December and started interviews in January. From start I've been told that the process is composed of 5 interviews: 1. introduction (mix of all things 30m) 2. devops 1.5h 3. coding 1.5h 4. security 1h 5. cultural fit 1h But after cultural fit Ive been informed that there is a mistake and I should have system design interview instead. After that 6th interview I have waited 2 weeks for feedback to be informed that I need to have a talk with teamleaders about my fit in the team which was 1h straight interview about CI/CD and other devops kind of stuff. After all 7 interviews (6 of them went really good - what they said, and one from what I've been told bad but I disagree with it) my application was presented to hiring comitee which decided to reject my because Schibsted already hired two devops in London (I've applied to Barcelona). Much time, no success. I was really hyped at the beginning. All this led to negative expierience and kinda of feeling that from the 5th interview forth it was waste of time (mine and their engineers), bad communication and "strange" reason to reject application.

I was initially approached by a recruitment agency advertising the role. After expressing my interest, I had a quick call with Schibsted's internal recruiter, who explained what they're after and how their process works: there would be four separate interviews covering different topics before their decision. We scheduled the first two parts to be completed remotely. I got an e-mail the night before the first interview that the interviewer had to reschedule. I completed the second interview, covering data structures and algorithms as scheduled (albeit admittedly poorly). Unfortunately the first interviewer never showed up in the rescheduled interview either. After five long days of chasing any feedback and trying to re-re-schedule, I was informed that they won't proceed with me on the other interviews after all. I'd never work with a company that doesn't respect prospective employees or their time. Dodged a bullet right there!
