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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why would you want to relocate to Hamburg? Did you already make plans to move to Hamburg?
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
