Entrevista
Die beschriebene Erwartung für jedes Gespräch entsprach nicht der eigentlichen Erwartungshaltung im Gespräch selbst. Die Interviewer waren alle nett, aber nicht gut vorbereitet. Der ganze Prozess ist sehr restriktiv, sodass man schlussendlich nicht wirklich die Chance bekommt, sein Können zu zeigen oder über seine Erfahrung zu sprechen. Am Ende wurde leider, trotz Nachfrage meinerseits, auch kein Grund für die Ablehnung gegeben.

Ein Projekt aus meiner Erfahrung auszusuchen, und dies zu erklären.
There was a first round with hr followed by a 1hour interview, use of AI was encouraged. Interviewer was not very knowledgeable and I had to discover a solution that she understands
The interview was intense and definitely exceeded my expectations. The technical rounds were particularly challenging, but I felt prepared. One of the system design questions was about creating a webhook delivery system with various complexities, and I was relieved because I had explored that exact topic on PracHub just days before. After tackling some coding problems, I faced some behavioral questions that tested my thought process. Overall, the experience was demanding, but I was thrilled to receive an offer, which I happily accepted.

Design a webhook delivery system that retries on failure with exponential backoff. Cover idempotency, ordering guarantees, dead-letter queues, and how you'd handle a downstream consumer that's been offline for hours.
