I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bitpanda (Vienna) in Jan 2022
Interview
I had a really messy experience in the recruitment process of Bitpanda. I had applied for a position, then got offered the above-mentioned one. The first and second interview were easy and the people were quite nice. Nevertheless, on the day that I was supposed to get my final decision, I was told that, even though the interviews went well, Bitpanda messed up with the headcount of employees needed in the department and they would not have needed me in other departments at that point.
What I got a bit confused about is that I did not get an apology about the mistake made and I got liquidated with *just check if there is any other vacancy that you are interested about*. Not even another job for a back-up plan.
If Bitpanda is not serious about its recruitment process, then who should be?
