Deepl carries a Seen Grade of 70/100, with an average wait of about 28 days to hear back and a 15% ghost rate. Here's what applicants report.
DeepL runs a long 4-5 stage loop (~4 weeks): recruiter chat, two live-coding rounds in a blank Google Doc, a system-design round, and an engineering-manager close. Candidates call the algorithm-heavy questions FAANG-like without matching comp, and one got positive feedback through several stages before a late rejection on previously unreviewed resume details. Others praise fast, professional communication and detailed post-rejection feedback calls. About 47% positive. Reported average time to first response is about 28 days. Applicants report roughly 5 interview round(s).
