    Operations Interview

    Anonymous Employee in Hamburg (Germany)
    Accepted Offer
    Positive Experience
    Average Interview

    Application

    I applied online. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at FREE NOW (Hamburg (Germany)) in May 2018.

    Interview

    Filled online application form. A few days later had an email inviting me to do a video interview with someone from HR. From there had a first face to face interview in the office with 2 senior managers, then a few days later a second interview with more of the team. Was about 3 months from applying to getting the offer - a lot of that was also down to me not being able to make interview date though

    Senior Software Engineer Interview

    Anonymous Interview Candidate in Berlin (Germany)
    Declined Offer
    Negative Experience
    Easy Interview

    Application

    I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at FREE NOW (Berlin (Germany)) in December 2018.

    Interview

    Total time waste...

    Even though I told them in my first call with HR that what's my salary expectation is and what is my current salary.
    They said it's possible but after all the interviews which took 2 months they told me your salary expectation is too high and we can not offer you that and the most they can offer was even less then my current salary.

    -> HR Call
    -> Take Home Test
    -> Video call to discuss the home test
    -> Call with Manager
    -> On site cultural fit
    -> Offer

    Interview Questions

    • Most of the question will be related to the take home test project.   Answer Question

    Legal Counsel Interview

    Anonymous Interview Candidate in Barcelona (Spain)
    Declined Offer
    Positive Experience
    Easy Interview

    Application

    I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at FREE NOW (Barcelona (Spain)) in April 2019.

    Interview

    After the application I was contacted by HR dept. and asked to download Zoom to attend a first round of interviews.
    The first interview was with the HR (30 minutes during which they just try to understand motivation and expectations) and the second with the senior counsel that asked about my experience and gave me a lot of details about the role (both very professional and pleasant).
    I was supposed to have a final round meeting key people for the role in Barça (they came from HQ) but I declined just because in the meantime I received another offer.
    The process is pretty fast and HR is responsive and helpful.

    Front End Developer Interview

    Anonymous Interview Candidate
    No Offer
    Negative Experience
    Easy Interview

    Application

    The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FREE NOW in February 2018.

    Interview

    I applied for this job based in Barcelona, the process took 2 weeks, the first interview is with the recruiter which is a casual chat where you get asked about your carrier, experience, salary expectation, etc ( classic questions ).

    Then comes the tricky part about this process, which is the technical test, I'm another person on the list who think is an unfair one. You get an email saying is supposed to take no more than 2 hours but in the readme file says no more than 4, they also tell you to make it beautiful but don't polish your code too much. I was honest enough to do it in about 4 hours and a half but there is no way do a great job in that gap. I believe my solution was more than good for the time taken, the only weakness was the UI which didn't look great, especially when you have to display more than 300 objects on the screen coming from two different APIs, I could have spent the weekend making it look much better, refactoring, etc, but again, I was honest with the instructions.

    The feedback from my taxi was "After an in-depth discussion and careful consideration we regret to have to inform you that we have decided to proceed with other candidates that meet our requirements more closely. This is in no way a judgement of your expertise or personality but merely related to our specific needs for this position."
