Interview
The first interview was a call with a recruiting specialist, quite fast, just with a few additional questions like salary expectations and a notice period. The technical interview was very friendly with the detailed discussion on experiences and expectations, a clear explanation of working conditions and onboarding process. The whole process was in German.
