The usual drill. An initial screening call with an HR person (who was very friendly). Then an assignment that you'd have to deliver within two days. Clear specs and you're given the freedom to use whatever tools you want (except for Bootstrap). The next step was an onsite interview . This was a problem solving on a whiteboard but packaged as a conversation. It was great though. It was very casual but very insightful. The next step was a meeting with the CTO which was far from being friendly. First off, he was like 10 minutes late to the interview and didn't even apologize. He didn't seem to be interested in answering my questions, with a bored tone even. He even mentioned how they fire people who don't share their "values" (never, ever ever be proud of that or even mention it in an interview). Then I was given a "challenge" to solve. I have no idea how this could indicate whether or not you're a good front end developer. This wasn't a data structure/algorithm coding challenge by the way. Without mentioning the "tricks" he was doing throughout the interview to test your focus, etc etc (I would love to know if he had a psychology degree actually). Everyone I had an interview with in Number26 mentioned how their employees work long hours and it was even considered as an indicator of determination and willingness to get things done (nope! you're burning your employees). I decided not to move forward with the interview process right after that.

I contacted N26, as I generally like their product, after I saw that they added new frontend engineering positions (I had applied in the past but the position got filled before I got the chance to do the interviews) Went through the interviews (call with recruiter, quiz, call with frontend team, meeting with a manager) and at the end they offered me a junior position with a lower salary than what I was getting in my current company so I declined the offer.
