After studying a lot for the interview, I went to interview with CEO and after 6 minutes+1 question told me that my German is enough fluent for the role in the company (I have completed a C1 course of German). After that I ask CEO which linguistic level they need for the role (for example B2, C1, C2 or Native Speaker) and CEO avoids my question replying that my German is not fluent and then he started behaving like he doesn't know the linguistic level. Sorry but this behavior can't be tolerated, also feeling discriminated is not a good experience in an interview. In addition one question is not enough to evaluate a person. Moreover there was not respect for time I have invested to study for this interview, for this reason I would recommend to not join this company (no professionalism, no respect)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to join the company and to work in this specific role?
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at future demand (Berlin) in July 2025
Interview
The interview process began with a round of multiple-choice questions to assess my technical knowledge. Following that, I had a conversation with the CTO, which was quite insightful. Afterward, there were three back-to-back one-on-one interviews with different team members.
Overall, the process felt average in terms of difficulty and structure. However, one thing that stood out to me was receiving the interview invitation email quite close to the interview time itself. This made me a bit suspicious, as it gave the impression that a decision might have already been made or that the interview was more of a formality rather than a thorough evaluation.

Question 1
One key technical question they asked me was to write code that renders a list and then filters it based on certain criteria. It tested my ability to manipulate arrays and implement dynamic filtering in a frontend context.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at future demand in Aug 2024
Interview
Easy interview process; however, terrible handling from the HR person and CEO himself.
I signed a contract, got an appointment at Ausländerbehörde 8 working days later. Just 15 days before my appointment, HR stopped answering my e-mails for a whole week and called me one week later to inform me my contract was withdrawn due to visa issues. There was no prior warning, I was very transparent about my visa situation when the offer was made. Additionally, I had no visa issues except changing my visa status- which was going to be handled anyways in 15 days!
There can be legal grounds to everything; however, there is also the moral/ethical side of it. Once a company makes an offer, a prospect plans their budget accordingly and possibly declines other job offers. Especially as a foreigner, you need to deal with visa, which requires quite a lot of planning. How I was treated was very unprofessional and shows the quality of the company itself.
Additionally, after passing the first round of interview and completing the task, you meet the CEO. This interview showed me that the company has no ambitions to grow and improve.
Go for it if you need a job but don´t expect much out of this company. You will not grow and it will make 0 impact on your CV.
