      Senior Backend Developer Interview

      24 Feb 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Berlin
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Inkitt (Berlin) in Jan 2020

      Interview

      I had a one hour introductory call, where we discussed about my experience and the product in general. Right after the call, I was invited for a 2 hour on site interview with the CTO and a product manager. The interview was nice, the people gave me a good impression. However, most of the questions were very general, very few programming or coding questions, which I would have expected for a senior position. After the on site interview, I was told I will get an answer within a week. Two weeks after, I was informed I will not receive an offer, as they were looking for a senior person with more years of experience in the CV. My issues with this response (and I have mentioned it in the final call as well) were: - Years of experience do not determine seniority (to which the response was yes, and that is why I was invited to an interview with the CTO). - If you are looking for that, you were able to see it in the CV initially, so why would you put me through the process, waste my time, so that I am rejected in the end anyway? I wish good luck to the company, I think the product is nice, but I think they should revise the recruiting process in order to attract people with good values, as most of my mentors in tech do not believe there is a correlation between the years of experience and seniority level.

      Hi there, Thanks a lot for taking the time to share your honest feedback with us. We are big fans of constructive criticism and anything that can help us improve as a company. Nonetheless, we are very sorry about your negative experience related to the reasoning for non-proceeding given after the interview. Based on our standardized recruiting structure, the step you participated in was intended for focusing purely on your past experiences. This allows us to get a full picture of experiences and look beyond specific, behavioral questions (and maybe miss something). Looking back on our reasoning, I totally understand your point of missing correlation between the years of experience and the seniority level. Thanks to your feedback, we had the chance to specifically reflect on this issue together in our team and reassured to give full transparency to our candidates. Feel free to let us know if you have any suggestions or further comments. All the best, Bartek Kreblewski Talent Acquisition Manager
