N26 Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at N26.

Interview

It took around 3 weeks in total, recruiter was very responsive throughout the process.

Started with an HR screening interview, covering mostly my job experience. It was followed by a code challenge which is not too difficult but requires a full weekend if you want to do it right. Next step was a technical interview including a small pair-programming session; a simple problem that didn't require knowledge about specific APIs outside core Java. Last step for me was a behavioral interview with the CTO. It was a nice talk with an former ThoughtWorks consultant who definitely seems to be a great leader to work with.

Overall it was a good experience but I have my doubts about the feedback which I think was very random. I feel like either they didn't want to disclose a real reason or they just look for people that have had the exact same problems that they did. Apart from this fact the process was good and I had a good impression of the folks working over there.

The process took 1 day. I interviewed at N26 (New York, NY).

Interview

Skype interview with a recruiting partner for 30 to 40 minutes. Really unprofessional body language from the recruiter. It was quite obvious that she was least interested in the process and lacked adequate technical knowledge that's required to assess an engineer. As expected got a rejection email after a day with no valid justification. Poor experience.

Interview Questions

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at N26 in January 2018.

Interview

An employee from N26, which had worked with me in my previous job in Transferwise recommended me , so I he provided me with a "link" to apply. After submitting the information I got an email requesting to do an analysis task which I did & send it to them within the 2 day window they asked for. After this I waited for more than 2 weeks and never got a reply from them, so I then emailed them to see what was up with my process & I got a very generic message with a negative response.

It was a terrible experience, as I spent literally 2 days designing a very good analysis for them which im pretty sure they did not even look at.

I Applied on Jan 15
Got the first reply with the task 2 weeks later on Jan 29
Sent 3 Follow up emails as nobody replied
The final reply from them was on Feb 22

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at N26 (Netherlands, MO) in August 2017.

Interview

The first interview was just a background check with a representative of the HR department. Really easy, she just went over my CV and asked why I would like to work for N26. She also gave me more of a background check of what the company does and it's culture.

The second interview was much harder. It was a series of case questions where they want to see how you think and how you would tackle a situation. The questions were mostly relevant (explain how you would implement a university ambassador program for N26, how would you start a social media campaign, etc.), but some also required weird answers. I got asked out of a scale from 1 - 10, how much do I want to work for N26? I answered with a "12" and the interviewer then rebuttled asking why my answer was so low. Seemed like I couldn't please him with any of my answers. He also rushed a lot of the questions.

Interview

My phone interviewer called 25 minutes late for a 30 min interview, and only after I followed up, with no apology or acknowledgement of being late. 5 minutes in the interviewer told me they were looking for someone with 3 years of experience, even though this was not listed in the job posting and my resume and cover letter clearly communicated that I did not have this.

Just want to help others avoid this frustrating and time-wasting experience.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at N26 in May 2018.

Interview

First 45 mins discussion & a project work. There are negative comments about the company interview process in Glassdoor. Even though, I attended the interview. I spent around 10 hours for both the screening and the project work. The final result I got from them is my skill set and experiences are not matching for the role. My skills and experiences can be known by just checking my resume and In this case, the interview process should have not been initiated for me. I didn't expect this from a German company. For candidates, if you value your time, think twice before attending the interview of this company. An Unfortunate experience.

Interview

I applied through the website and got contacted back quite fast by a recruiter.

First phone call with the recruiter was nice and to the point. I was then asked to do an offline code challenge. Nothing too complicated but the question was very open ended with a lot of bonus points and architecture focus so if you want to do it right, you can easily spend a full weekend on it, maybe more.

Then I got to talk with 2 engineers from the team in a 1 hour video call. I had to write a little bit of code to verify I knew kotlin/rxjava but most of the interview was general questions. Sometimes technical, and sometimes more behavioral as well as some time for me to ask questions. Discussion was fluid overall.

I did not move past this step. I received a very generic email about the comparison between needed skills and the candidate skills. Considering the time investment they ask for their candidates, I would have appreciated a better feedback. It leaves me with the weird feeling that they did not want to disclose the the real reasons or that something else happened. Which is a pity because everyone was very nice otherwise.
