I applied online. I interviewed at Contentful (Berlin) in Nov 2020
Interview
The interview process was an extreme pleasure in my personal opinion. Starting from the HR round to the fourth and final one, everything worked like a well-oiled machine. I was consistently well informed throughout the process and never felt like I was kept hanging which was mostly the case with a lot of companies I interviewed previously. Moreover I was always comfortable with my interviewers and felt that the respect was mutual.

Interview
Important: Slightly unprofessional, they can misinform you during the interview!
2 months after the application, HR contacted me for the interview process. Went through 3 interviews in two weeks: 1st with the recruiter, 2nd with a team member, 3rd with the team manager. All of them went well, people were very nice.
In the 3rd one, the interviewer told me that I passed this stage and they will contact me for the 4th and final interview. Three days after I have got an email saying that the position was filled.
During the process, I also got one wrong interview email from my recruiter; overall experience felt like there was a communication problem between departments.
Saying that I passed the interview and will proceed further, and writing a rejection email three days later was a bit unprofessional, I would expect more transparency.
