I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Glovo (Barcelona) in Feb 2021
Interview
It was a neutral experience. HR was really good in responding on time. Interview level leetcode easy-medium .
I was able to reach till 4th round but then I read over Glassdoor and Blind that salary offered is less and not much saving for those coming from India. I then reached out to HR as salary negotiation was not done in initial round and I told my expectation.
To my surprise what was offered was way way less. After deducting the tax slab and minimum monthly expenditure(without and weekend trip and luxury) I was surprised that I was saving 15k less then I am saving today in India.
The reason they outsource people from India, salary in India is less if we convert the salary they offer in INR but after deducting taxes and expense we won't save much.
If you wish to travel to Europe only opt for booking, faang .. else you will spend more then saving.
Had a call with the HR manager, he introduced the company and its plans, asked about my motivation and experience. The conversation was friendly and polite. I received clear answers to all my questions. However, I didn’t feel any particular interest in me as a candidate. One of the questions seemed a bit suspicious, what would I do if a production issue occurred on a Friday evening.
The response from the company came the next day, automatically, from a no-reply address. That made it impossible to ask for immediate feedback or any follow-up questions.
To me, receiving an automatic response from a no-reply sender is somewhat telling about the internal culture.

Interview
Leetcode-style question with a clever twist, incorporating unique constraints and edge cases. The solution includes thorough unit test coverage and insightful discussions on multi-threading, concurrency control, synchronization techniques, potential race conditions, and performance trade-offs in real-world, production-grade scenarios.

Interview
I had a two-step interview. The first was a casual chat about my background and what I’m looking for. The second was a live coding session with a medium problem, followed by questions on time and space complexity and how a HashMap works under the hood
