I applied online. I interviewed at payever in Aug 2020
Interview
I received a test task and started to work on it. The results were ready at the third day. It took 5 hours in total. The task was not hard but I wanted to make it look impressive to show my generic attitude to the work I'm getting done, show some demo, etc.
At the third day CEO Artur Schlaht sent me the notification that they will not proceed further and any furhter HR person in payever will simply deny me
so don´t apply again :)
This is the real face of the company. I'm really happy that I saw it in the first days. I'm very disappointed and happy that I'll never work in this "company".
I applied online. I interviewed at payever (Hamburg) in July 2025
Interview
Jul 18, 2025 – Got an unpaid technical assessment (Kubernetes: second NGINX controller).
Jul 22 – Was told I “passed” and was asked to upload front/back passport/ID scans and a selfie video through a public Google Form before any contract was provided.
Jul 24 – I asked for a contract first and a GDPR Article 13 notice; they insisted I fill the form first (said I could blur sensitive parts).
Jul 25 – Offer was $30–40/hour but under a “Tracker off / Project-based” policy:
“If ETA is 8h and you need 200h, you still get paid 8h.”
No escrow / payment guarantee, yet fixed 8–17 CET working hours for a “contractor”. I declined and requested erasure of my data under GDPR (which they confirmed, but with inconsistencies about processors and no clear Article 9(2) basis for the selfie video).
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at payever (Hamburg) in Nov 2023
Interview
They contacted via linkedin and aldo sent a letter to sign and they did not reached out I think they are scam because if they wanted to hire the first thing to do is interview then I read other reviews of this job and I made sure they are scam
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at payever in Nov 2023
Interview
I was headhunted on LinkedIn. Arranged for an interview next day. Interview held by outside collaborator, a person I later figured has absoultely nothing to do with Payever. After that, I got three tasks: IQ test (easy), Security test (wth? they required me to install Nessus, a proprietery software), and a relatively fun Jira task. After that, I was contacted again for a "remote day". For that, I had to install Telegram, an messaging application I had no intention of getting. This was as dumb as it could get. I got the same 3 tasks again!!! After I gave them a heads-up, they just gave me some random DevOps task with Kubernetes that was badly written (first it says there are 5 tasks, after submission of the first one - there's nothing). Never heard of them again.
