I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at VectorBuilder (Frankfurt am Main)
Interview
People were quite nice and friendly. There were two online interviews that were very relaxed, and the last interview was in person. You need to know what they are doing and how your profile fits. On the other hand, HR is totally unprofessional and rude. I was getting messages on WhatsApp, for example, and the contract is extremely bad. Practically designed to exploit you. HR also pushes you to sign the contract immediately without giving you time to consider it, and they refuse to change anything in the contract.
I went through three rounds of interviews. The questions they asked me were fair and relatively standard. I had enjoyable conversations with each person I spoke with and felt like it was a good match. Overall, happy with the process.

Question 1
What is your greatest strength and greatest weakness?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at VectorBuilder
Interview
Three rounds. 1st with team leader, 2nd with team lead's supervisor, 3rd with COO. The first two rounds were as expected, professional and transparent. The 2nd round was particularly meaningful.

Question 1
One of the questions in the last round was whether I am a leader or a follower. It seems to be an uninformative question to either parties of the conversation. It is unlikely anyone would respond that they are a follower but the interviewer failed to see it would be more constructive to ask about one's leadership experience directly.
