After talking to the nice HR lady (none of the 4 people I talked to 2 years ago is there anymore), I talked to the Senior Engineers. They were overall nice if a bit unprepared, they pasted on Zoom the discussion topics for 1 hour. Very vanilla case, nothing I hadn't seen, so I clarified the questions and answered with confidence where I could. I got rejected via email some days later, claiming I didn't have enough technical knowledge to belong to Glovo. I admitted a couple of mistakes and rebuked 80% of the claims with examples and theory. And they wanted me to say "observability" when trying to debug an issue? When all you know is a hammer, all you see if a nail. So I don't think these people know what they claim to. More shockingly, when I interviewed the engineers, they manifested their dissatisfaction with the company and the culture and one could see the fear in their eyes, when I brought up Delivery Hero or performance reviews. In the end, I'm glad I didn't join!

Overall a long, time consuming and chaotique process It took 2 months from initial screening to outcome. Evaluation was mainly on tech & mgm ... to ultimately tell me I succeed at both tech & mgmt ... but my background profile doesn't fit any open position in the company (HR struggle at providing factual reasons)(this should have been detected from day 1 or the process should have been canceled if the possible position was closed during the process) Most all meetings went in the opposite way the HR announced: - technical interview turned to behavioural interviews and vice versa, - home work test review never happen and turned into general tech interview (I could have submitted the work from somebody else ... they wouldn't had spot it) - long time to confirm interviewer Take home test was time consuming but not challenging (a bit boring actually)(questions I raised after receiving the assignment weren't answered) Discussions with engineers were interesting and company 's software/data culture the looks good.
