Magda
Tech Recruiter
Carola
Team & Product Coach
What can I expect from the coding challenge?
Our engineering recruitment process involves you completing a coding challenge. We then set a time together - usually over a weekend. You choose one of several tasks and we create a repository using your GitHub handle. After you submit your work, we will review it and give you qualified feedback as soon as possible.
Do I always work in a fixed team?
For larger projects, you will usually be part of a fixed team. The advantage of this is that you can focus together on the scope, the task, the project and the client's needs. Typically a team consists of 3-6 engineers and 1 team & product coach.
How is my Spacetime organised?
Spacetime is your personal training time. As a team, you discuss which project requirements need to be covered and whether there is a need for further training. Your personal goals and wishes are also taken into account when planning your spacetime, which could mean getting involved in open source projects or gaining certifications for certain technologies, for example.
What are the usual working hours? Is there any overtime?
The core working hours are from 10 am to 4 pm. You are mostly flexible before and after. Of course, we try to avoid overtime, but unfortunately that doesn't always work out. In this case, however, it is either compensated in time off or paid out.
What's the home office ratio? Can I always work from home?
Generally, 95% of us work remotely from Germany. For example, we meet in person on special occasions such as a project kick-off or retros in our coworking space in Hamburg. However, you also have the option of working from our coworking space on a day-by-day basis by arrangement.
When might it be necessary to see us in person?
Once a month we meet with all colleagues on site in our coworking space. These onsite meetings include presentations, talks, workshops and information from the company. We believe these face-to-face meetings are particularly important, as direct and informal dialogue has a positive impact on collaboration and corporate culture.
