      I interviewed at Ableton

      Interview

      Very well structured and practical, smooth and timely response, very clear answers to questions. No beating around the bush, only honesty and the position requirements and expectations. They treat their candidates well. The follow-ups take a bit of time but well informed throughout

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Ableton (Berlin) in Feb 2024

      Interview

      Ridiculous "take-home coding test" with absolutely inappropriate scope (write an authentication service). Like why would you try to build a web service for authentication in vanilla Python? Dumbest idea I ever heard. They didn't even look at my solution or considerations or provide feedback, I just got a generic rejection email stating "there were better candidates". When I replied to the email asking for some sort of feedback on my solution (I spent hours on it), they told me they had too many candidates and could not provide any feedback. Generic bs corporate laziness or greed. Idk, either way it is extremely disrespectful. On top of that the salaries advertised were a solid 15k under market value. I love Ableton Live. But I would not recommend trying to interview there unless you do not value your time. They do not respect you or your time or energy. Best to take it elsewhere. This is the first time I've written a glassdoor review for an interview, that's how badly this stands out as a poor experience.

      Question 1

      Write a user authentication service in Python without using any packages. In two hours.
