Absage
Bewerber/inHat sich 2026 in Wien als Senior Product Analyst beworben und eine Absage erhalten.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

One small improvement I would suggest would be more proactive communication during longer waiting periods. After submitting my take-home challenge, I waited around two weeks for the decision and eventually followed up myself. While I completely understand that delays can happen, a brief update in between would have helped reduce some of the uncertainty during the waiting period.

Apart from that, I had a very positive experience. I particularly appreciated how the take-home challenge was organized: it was clearly timeboxed, and being able to choose when to complete it made it easy to fit into my schedule. I also really appreciated receiving detailed and specific feedback on my submission after the decision. This made the outcome transparent and gave me something valuable to take away from the process.

Thank you for the detailed and honest feedback!

We're really glad the challenge format worked well for you, especially the clear timeboxing and flexibility, as well as the detailed feedback on your submission. That transparency matters a lot to us.

Your point on communication during longer waiting periods is well taken. Even when decisions take longer, a quick update in between should be the standard, and we're working on doing better there.

Thanks for taking the time to share this, it really helps us improve.

All the best,
Tamara

Hi there,

Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback. We take candidate experience seriously, and going through 4 rounds and then getting a generic rejection is not the standard we hold ourselves to, so we're sorry if that's what happened.

That said, we couldn't find a "Producer" hiring process from 2025 on our end, so we're a bit puzzled about the details here. We'd really like to understand what went wrong and make it right if we can. Could you reach out to us directly so we can look into this properly? It's hard to improve on something we can't trace back to an actual process.

Thanks again for the honest feedback.
Regards,
Tamara

Long but interesting process, with nice and smart interviewers

4,6
Bewerber/inHat sich 2025 in Wien als Product Manager beworben und wurde für eine spätere Berücksichtigung vorgemerkt.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

The process was long but I liked meeting the team in all the steps. I could see that there is a positive vibe at the company. We agreed to keep in touch for a future opportunity.
My only suggestion would be: since the challenge is a big time investment from the candidate, it would be good to schedule a follow up right away rather than wait for feedback from the team. Even if the challenge is not up to the expectations of the team, it would be good to have a short call for feedback, as appreciation for the invested time.

Started really nice but the end was quite frustrating...

Absage

Verbesserungsvorschläge

I think the general process was okay, even though it was super long... which i can understand on one hand (you want to be sure of the person you hire) but in my opinion it is quite unfair for the people you wont hire to do such a challenging and long and demanding process.
the one on one interview was quite stressful and i felt more questioned and doubted than supported and motivated... that's probably what stuck with me the most. the interview gave me a doubtful feeling about myself which i think shouldnt happen after a professional interview.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear that part of the interview process felt frustrating. Our goal is always to create a process where both sides can get to know each other well, and where candidates have a fair opportunity to showcase their skills, but we understand that this experience didn’t meet those expectations in your case.
We’ve shared your feedback with the team and will use it to reflect on and improve our process going forward.

Pleasant interview process

4,7
Bewerber/inHat sich 2024 in Wien als Software Developer beworben und sich schließlich selbst anders entschieden.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Very positive experience from the application process. The interview partners were all very friendly and it seemed like a good place to work at. From what I could gather, it seems like the company really takes care of the employees as all of them seemed to be very happy to be working there. The questions were fair.

The one thing I was a bit confused about was the architectural interview as the position I applied for didn't state this kind of knowledge in the job ad. Maybe adding a line or two that this kind of knowledge is welcomed or required would have been nice.

What was also a little surprising was the high amount of interview rounds (4 altogether). However it was all done quickly in about two weeks.

I decided in the end to join another company, but I would have been more than happy to join Journi following the pleasant interview process.

Dear candidate,

thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our application process!

It's great that you felt the atmosphere was welcoming and that our questions were fair. We're also glad the entire process moved quickly within two weeks, even with multiple interview rounds.

Your feedback about the architectural interview is really valuable. You're right that we should be clearer about technical requirements in our job postings. We'll definitely look into adding more specific details about the skills and knowledge areas we're looking for so candidates can come better prepared. We understand that four interview rounds might seem like a lot, and we appreciate you sticking with us through the process.

Thanks again for the constructive feedback. It helps us keep improving our process for future candidates.

Best regards,
Tamara

Unprofessional application process

1,0
Absage
Bewerber/inHat sich 2024 in Wien als Development position beworben und eine Absage erhalten.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Be professional and show respect for the time and efforts of the candidates applying for a position at the company.

- Candidates were not given the flexibility to choose interview times that suited their schedules, as only predetermined slots were offered by HR.
- Join the interview in the specified time for the meeting don't let the candidate wait.
- Keep in mind that the candidates applying for a position are taking time from their day to have this interview, for the interviewer, it is part of their job responsibilities.
- Don't put candidates on 5-6 interviews it does not make sense for anyone to waste their time in 3 interviews and then just get rejected by email.
- Take a look at the assignment requirements that you are giving to candidates and make them more concise and don't request the use of new technology for the features to be implemented on an existing project that has old technology and the code is totally unreadable.
- Be mindfull that what you are requesting in 4 hours to be implemented is even possible to be done and give the candidate at least a chanse to discuss what has impleented and what could be done if there was more time since a 4-hour assignment does not showcase someone overall experience.

Anja BaudischTalent Acquisition Lead

Dear candidate,

thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We apologize for the late reply to your review.

We're sorry to hear that your interview experience didn't meet your expectations and that you felt dissatisfied across all aspects of our process. Your detailed improvement suggestions are valuable, and we take them seriously.

Regarding feedback, we're unfortunately unable to provide personalized feedback over phone or video calls due to the high volume of applications we're handling, but we always try to provide feedback via email when possible. We understand this might not feel as personal as you'd prefer.

We're sorry the interview process wasn't to your liking and expectations. The 4-hour challenge you mentioned is designed not only to assess technical skills but also to evaluate time management and prioritization abilities. We've had candidates complete it successfully within the given timeframe, which is why we find it valuable in our interview process. However, we hear your concerns about the assignment's scope and the opportunity to discuss what was implemented versus what could be done with more time.

Your points about interview scheduling flexibility, punctuality, and being mindful of candidates' time investment are well taken. We want every candidate to feel respected and valued throughout their journey with us.

Thank you again for taking the time to write the review here and for taking the time to interview with us!

Refreshingly Transparent and Interesting Hiring Process

4,8
Bewerber/inHat sich 2024 in Wien als Senior HR Specialist beworben.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

I had a very pleasant experience interviewing for this position. I particularly liked that the provided information on their career page as values, culture and expectations matches reality and was noticeable throughout the interviews and every team member I met during the process. The interviews were structured as open conversations and I was able to learn a lot about their current projects and plans, as well as lessons learned. Their transparency and honesty was very refreshing and appreciated.

The process also involved working on a HR challenge where I was asked to work on practical examples and provide ideas which I would implement in a given situation. These were discussed in depth in the further interviews with direct feedback.

The impression I got of Journi - it seems like a great place to work at with plenty of challenging and intriguing tasks, with the culture and team being put first. They are in a rapidly growing stage as a scale-up and the only recommendation I have is to provide a clearer overview of the next stages and timeframe, which however was adressed via email communication.

Disappointing Interview Experience and Lack of Candidate Respect

1,5
Bewerber/inHat sich 2024 in Wien als Product Manager beworben und sich schließlich selbst anders entschieden.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

More personalized and relevant questions during the interview would have been more effective than simply reading them from a script. After what I believed to be a successful interview, I received no feedback—positive or negative—for over three weeks, even after following up for an update. Although the conversation with the recruiter was satisfactory, overall, it ended up being my most negative experience to date. The company’s disappointing and disrespectful treatment of candidates has made me decide that I would not want to work there in the future. Notably, the job posting was reposted just two days ago.

We're sorry to hear that your interview experience did not meet your expectations. We genuinely appreciate the detailed feedback you provided and take your comments seriously.

Leider meine unprofessionellste Bewerbungserfahrung bisher

Absage
Bewerber/inHat sich 2024 in Wien als Senior HR Specialists beworben und eine Absage erhalten.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Vereinbarte Rückmeldungsfristen einhalten, Erreichbarkeit sicherstellen, Ehrlichkeit bei Absagen. Mir wurde mit der Begründung abgesagt, dass ein anderer Bewerber ausgewählt wurde. Tage später wurde die Stelle neu ausgeschrieben, sie ist inzwischen seit Monaten online. Das Gespräch mit der Recruiterin war sehr in Ordnung, ansonsten war es meine bisher negativste Erfahrung. Ich würde nicht mehr für das Unternehmen arbeiten wollen, sehr enttäuschender, respektloser Umgang mit Bewerbern.

TamaraTalent Acquisition Manager

Dear Applicant,

We understand your disappointment and acknowledge that we missed our promised timeline by a few days. This was due to limited capacity, with some team members on holiday and several open roles to manage. That said, we should have communicated with you sooner, and we sincerely apologize for the delay—this was our oversight.
We haven't made a final selection yet, and we were fortunate to have many strong applicants, unfortunately, we couldn’t proceed with everyone.
Regarding the LinkedIn reposting, we are keeping the role open until the final interviews are completed. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
We take great pride in the positive feedback we typically receive regarding our hiring process, and it’s rare that we encounter concerns, but we are also very grateful for your constructive feedback so that we can continue to learn and grow. If you’d like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d be happy to address any additional questions or concerns you may have.

Very enjoyable and transparent hiring process

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Try sticking to the estimated response dates that you share with the candidates. After one of the rounds I was told that I'll receive the details about the next round within 1-2 days and it took 4 in the end, so I thought for a while that I'm out of the process, even though I felt very happy with how the interview went. It's not that much of a difference in the end and really my only minor negative feedback on the whole process, because the rest has been just amazing in every aspect, but there's still some room for improvement in this matter :)
