      Software Engineer Interview

      15 Apr 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Berlin
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Flix (Berlin) in Jan 2021

      Interview

      interview process is very very long. It started with an email for an initial call with one of the recruiter, lasted for 45 mins, then a week later received a home task to do, took around 3-4 hours, after submission received first feedback 2 weeks later requiring some small changes, did them and then around a week later received an invitation to a discussion about the task and then a technical interview with 2 engineers only one of them showed up; was mainly about the tools used in the job and some one or two problems, then a week later received an invitation to two successive interviews one with the hiring manager and then with the team and the hiring manager also. after that I received a call to discuss my expectations and onboarding. apart from the technical interview and the task, expect a very repetitive interview, one way or another it is basically the same thing, in the team interview, both sides, team, manager and interviewee ran out of things to say or ask. as for negotiations; salary is below average for a company of such status and no bonuses/benefits of value.

      Software Engineer Interview

      26 June 2026
      Anonymous employee
      Berlin
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Flix (Berlin) in June 2026

      Interview

      The interview process was very well structured and transparent from start to finish. It consisted of an initial HR screening(45 min), a Hiring Manager interview(60 min), a technical code review session(90 min), and a final onsite Meet the Team round(60 min). Communication throughout the process was excellent, with timely updates after every stage. Every interviewer was professional, approachable, and genuinely interested in having meaningful technical and behavioral discussions rather than asking only standard interview questions. The technical round focused on engineering judgment, code quality, and problem-solving, while the onsite round was highly collaborative and provided a great opportunity to learn more about the team, engineering culture, and day-to-day work. Overall, it was one of the best interview experiences I've had.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The HR round was primarily focused on understanding my background and motivation. Questions included: Tell me about yourself. What technologies have you worked with? Why Flix? What are your expectations for this role? Why did you leave your previous company? Visa/work authorization status. Notice period / joining availability. Salary expectations. Experience with monitoring systems, cloud providers, and AI usage in day-to-day work. This Hiring manager round was a deep dive into my resume and previous experience. The discussion covered: Walkthrough of my major projects and my individual contributions. The most challenging technical problem I had solved. Design decisions and ownership examples. Database indexing and performance optimization. AI usage in my previous company and how I incorporated it into my workflow. General discussions around backend architecture and engineering decisions. The technical interview was centered around engineering judgment rather than algorithmic coding. I was given a Java code file and asked to review it. Identified potential issues, suggested improvements, and discussed possible extensions. The interviewers were interested in my thought process, trade-off analysis, communication, and how I collaborated while solving problems. It felt more like a technical discussion than a traditional coding interview The final onsite round was very conversational and focused on team fit and real-world engineering scenarios. Questions included: How would you approach implementing a new feature? How do you handle disagreements with teammates? Situational and behavioral questions around ownership, collaboration, and decision-making. Discussions about engineering culture, working style, and cross-functional collaboration.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Flix in Sept 2024

      Interview

      The worst interview process I had in my entire life. They started the process and everything looked amazing, I did all the steps ( 6 steps) and got rejected due to "technical reasons", but, the technical part was the 3 step, why not just refuse me in the third one instead of making me do all the 6 steps just to reject me for something I had not passed in the 3 one. Also, they told me that they made offers by calling by phone, and the recruiter told me "Hey I am going to call you soon", two days goes with no call, I asked, she said "I will call you tomorrow", then after one week of this I got rejected and the reasons that I was told is the one I said above. Really unbelievable the amount of disrespect and wast of my time.
