How did I apply for the position ? I applied through Linkedin. They were very quick to respond and they scheduled my "get to know you" interview with the recruiter. What to expect in "get to know you" interview? My recruiter was Eduardo, He was on time, professional and friendly. We had a discussion about my past experiences, my motive to join the company, salary expectations, job location preferences(Berlin, Vienna, Barcelona), reason for job change and notice period in current company. He then explained me the whole interview process and gave me time to ask questions. After this round he sent me an email confirmation of making to the next stage and also shared a preparation pack(It helped me a lot during whole interview process, It had information on what it's like to work at N26, work culture, interview tips and more). Next stage was a Codility test containing 3 questions(Leetcode easy/medium level). I had a week to complete it. I was able to solve all 3. After submitting the test I received an email confirmation of making to the next stage. The next stage was to complete Pair coding and Systems design exercises in real time with their Backend Engineers. Both Pair coding and Systems design interviews will take place separately on the same day as follows: Pair Coding Interview: 60 minutes Systems Design Interview: 60 minutes What to expect in "Pair Coding" interview? Two Senior Backend Engineers were there to take this interview. They were on time, professional and they made me feel comfortable by introducing themselves. There will be a Leetcode easy/medium level question and you will have to write the working code by sharing your screen. (They use Codility for this round) Be prepared to explain your approach and don't forget to discuss the time and space complexity of your solution. You should also discuss/cover all the corner cases and your code should not fail any such cases. What to expect in "Systems Design" interview? Two Senior Backend Engineers were there to take this interview. They were on time, professional and they made me feel comfortable by introducing themselves. There will be a few questions from your resume for about first 20 min. (ex. Describe your CI/CD pipeline, your current project, technologies which you are using etc..). Then they will give you one system design problem which you will have to discuss with them in 35 min(last 5 min will be kept for your questions). You will have to share your screen (They use Codility whiteboard for this round). Try to get the understanding/scope of the problem by asking questions to them. once the question is clear start discussing your approach and why you are choosing particular approach(pros/cons of your approach). :) tip - time is very critical in this round, try to use the time effectively, at last don't forget to summarise your approach) After completing both the round I received an email confirmation of making to the next stage. The next stage was a conversation with a Hiring Manager. The interview focuses on cultural and behavioural questions to assess the following: your attitude & approach towards engineering, how you handle situations, how you take ownership, and your individual contributions. What to expect in "Hiring Manager" round? Your future Manager will take this interview. He was on time, professional and he made me feel comfortable by introducing himself. Then we discussed about many things related to my role & responsibilities, business unit, work culture, team management etc.. At last he asked me 5 behavioural questions. This round took around 45 min. --- After 2 days I received an email from Eduardo confirming my selection for the role. He scheduled a call with me to discuss about the offer and next steps. I would like to thank Eduardo and Francisca for their help during the interview process. I had a very good experience. with N26. So, that's how I got my offer from N26.

There were 3 technical rounds. First was a codility coding test. You can take it anytime within 7 days. Second was a Pair Coding Interview which involved live coding in front of 2 interviewers. Both interviewers were backend engineers but not seniors. Third was a design interview, where you have to draw a design on an online platform called Figma.
