      Interview

      1. Talent Manager 2. Hiring Manage 3. Case study - Extremely broad with a lot of questions and tons of research but they don't even take time to read it. Extremely time consuming. least time will be 8 hours. 4. Present case study 5. Meet key stake holders - I had to cancel the process. Its not an executive position I don't know how they manage to conduct so many interviews and still do their day to day business. There interview were not well organised and they did not seem to be prepared for the interview at all. they explain about the business model but don't give you time to speak. i was interrupted constantly. i just decided it was not a place I wanted to work.

We apologize for the extensive time commitment you required during the interview process, especially regarding the case study.

Which is why it’s important for us to ensure that candidates can create a connection and buy-in from various stakeholders throughout the hiring process. By involving multiple individuals, we wish to avoid subjective or biased decision-making, and to make well-informed choices that align with our company values. We regret any lack of organization that you experienced during the process. We will take your feedback to heart and work on providing better training and guidance to our hiring managers to ensure that interviews are conducted in a more time-efficient manner.

      Berlin
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EMnify (Berlin) in May 2023

      Interview

      - Call with Talent Acquisition, - Hiring Manager Interview- This had all the red flags. No clear understanding of the role or segregation of duties. The title should be Director Accounting because the position is not allowed to contribute to Finance topics. - Functional Assessment- Extremely long, 40 slide power point presentation. 10 open-ended questions requiring a lot of research. Review published financials and give your opinion. Takes over 12 hours to complete. During the presentation there were several occasions where there was no attention given to the presentation. There were several instances of poor participation, such as reading documents and emails on the laptop instead of listening to the functional assessment presentation. It was also clear that they had NOT read the submitted Functional Assessment. (Required to be submitted 24 hours before the interview.) With such a long process, feedback should be provided to the candidates as it takes time to complete the Functional Assessment. - Meet with various stakeholders - Meet the team Meet the CEO Too many processes and time consuming for any candidate. I had to withdraw my application to accept another offer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What are your comments on the last published financial statements? How would you describe the business based on the financials? Do you see any areas of attention? What in your role would you focus on? What are the key features to consider in terms of sales taxation for companies which are startups, and active in SaaS or telecommunications? What do we need to focus on and which are the risks?
