Bitpanda Senior Product Designer interview questions

The People team always contacted me at every opportunity. They always spoke in a very friendly and positive tone. Every interview I had with my potential teammates and leadership was very relaxed, "real" interviews with consistent expectations for the position. The atmosphere was always very positive. You can tell they have a very positive, open, and friendly culture and they strive to maintain it that way.

The interview process consisted of six rounds, where I had to present a case study, explain my design process, and answer behavioral questions. While the interviewers were friendly and made the experience positive, the process itself felt repetitive, as I had to reiterate the same information multiple times. The biggest issue wasn’t the interviews themselves but the lack of transparency and feedback. After completing all six rounds, I saw that the role was reposted on LinkedIn on the same day they informed me of their decision. I was told it came down to me and another candidate, but I wasn’t given specific feedback on why I wasn’t selected or what I could improve. I fully respect the hiring decision, but after investing time in such an extensive process, I would have expected clearer communication and constructive feedback to help candidates grow. Reducing redundancy in the interviews and improving post-interview feedback would make the process much stronger.
