I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Trade Republic (London, England) in Feb 2025
Interview
I had call with one of the tech leads just to discuss the background. I got rejected post that without much clarification on what basis I was rejected. I wish I would have been told what to expect during the interview so that I could have been better prepared
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Trade Republic (Paris) in May 2026
Interview
Only three steps: a first meeting with a staff engineer to talk about my experience, then a system design meeting, and finally a meeting with a product manager.
The process was straight forward and they came back to me in a few days to make an offer.
