Experiences and ratings of employees and applicants

I was unsatisfied because the procedure was seemed not structured but impulsive. I was invited for a panel talk than a first recruiter talk and had no chance to show any technical skills. Zero constructive feedback was given after the interview but instead I received a template rejection. I was ultimately respectful for the esteemed organization that I considered with high regards but did not see same level respect in the badly written rejection email. An organization that has mission different than corporate should give proper constructive feedback like you guys expecting here.

I really liked the part of the interview explaining the product and the main focus areas in which I would work on. I was disappointed though for getting rejected on technical basis without even going through the technical interview. I would expect this to has been screened prior to the interview and either get invited to an initial interview or get rejected from the start. This would have been more respectful for both our time and schedules.

I really appreciated the time management and the engaging conversation during the interview. What I’d recommend improving is the clarity of information about the next steps. While this was mentioned during the interview, it would be helpful to also include it in a follow-up email or on a dedicated page explaining the interview process. This would allow candidates to prepare more effectively.

I am very satisfied with the process so far. Submitting the application was straightforward. The first interview was very appreciative and transparent. I have a good first impression so far. The fact that this query is coming now irritates me a little, because I haven't heard anything from you since the first interview yesterday, and my first thought was that a rejection would follow, because otherwise the process would not be over yet.

I felt warmly welcomed by my call with Julia. She explained Wikimedia and the role well, asked me good questions, and demonstrated that she was an active listener who valued my expertise and my time. It was so pleasant talking to her that I almost forgot it was a job interview.

The interview process with Wikimedia Deutschland was very professional and pleasant. The communication was clear, the interviewers were friendly and respectful, and I appreciated the open and engaging conversation about both the team and the role.

I felt treated as a truly valued candidate during the interview. The process was transparent, just as expected and promised, which made the experience very professional and positive.
