I was recently shortlisted for a working student position at Atari. The interviewer, whom I stalked on LinkedIn, was also a working student, sent me a typical HR email saying that I had been shortlisted and needed to choose a date and time for the HR screening interview. I selected a slot, and he then confirmed it.

On the day of the interview, I was fully prepared. I had researched common HR questions and read up on the company. However, just 20 minutes before the interview, I received a notification saying that he had to cancel the meeting because of some urgent work. He apologized for the late notice and said he would contact me in the first half of the following week.

Since then, it has been around three weeks, and I still have not heard back from him. I have emailed him twice, but I have not received any response. The only interaction I noticed was that he viewed my LinkedIn profile.

Is this normal? Has anyone else had a similar experience with Atari?

Hello everyone,

​

I recently applied for a Software Engineer Intern position at Snowflake. I successfully cleared the HackerRank assessment and have also completed the HR interview round.

​

My next stage consists of back-to-back live coding interviews. Two live coding rounds for an internship seems bit much but the its snowflake and we all know about the job market so if anyone has recently interviewed with Snowflake, or with any other EU office, I would appreciate hearing about your experience.

​

What types of coding questions should I expect? Any insights on the difficulty level, interview format, or preparation tips would be very helpful.

​

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

I am a software engineer currently pursuing my master’s degree in Germany. Since last year, I have been actively looking for jobs. I have not had much luck so far, although I have managed to get shortlisted by a few reputable companies such as Snowflake, Personio, and others.

While searching for jobs, I have noticed a recurring pattern. Many staffing and recruitment companies post roles with very generic job descriptions. In many cases, the positions do not even require German language skills, yet I almost never hear back after applying.

I am curious to know whether this has just been my experience, or if others have noticed the same issue with these kinds of companies.

Some of the companies I frequently see posting roles are:

1. Optimus
2. Haystack
3. Michael Page
4. Computer Futures
5. eFinancialCareers
6. Set2Recruit

Has anyone had a positive experience with these recruiters or staffing agencies?
