The first round was with the hiring manager, it went very well and I was given a case study to prepare and present my approaches for afterward. I spent a considerable amount of time on it and prepared a detailed paper and uploaded it on their platform. Normally, they needed to arrange a meeting in which I can represent my ideas, approaches, etc. However, a few days later, I have received an email saying my document was great but unfortunately the role is no longer available, and if I want my profile can be shared with the other hiring managers of the open product roles. I said OK and they started to keep me waiting for almost 2 weeks and then they said they have found a better fit for the role. So this approach is not professional and damages the company's reputation.

The interview process was pretty straightforward, after applying to the position I was requested to do a case study based on an existing market tool related to the position and, together with the case study, respond a few questions regarding Scrum. About 2 weeks after sending the file I was requested to present and discuss in an hour-long video call with two people from the area I applied to, where I could present my ideas and get their feedback on possible improvements to the case study. The final phase consisted with a session lasting around 1h30 with four people I would be working with, from different roles (QA, Developer, Business Analyst and Product Manager), each with questions taking into consideration their point of view and their goals in the whole process.

I was contacted by a Recruiter who reviewed my profile, and suggested an interview with the Product Manager. Meanwhile I had to complete an assignment for which I was given 3 days. Afterwards, I had 2 Skype interviews, one on-site interview in the Dusseldorf office. Finally after 2 days, I received an offer.
