mostly standard questions in all rounds. one of the questions though was regarding my current salary which was very disappointing because it's pretty much established that women in tech are underpaid. don't ask your candidates and especially not your female candidates that question! to my question concerning remote work, the response was also disappointing. it was explained to me that it's not possible to work from any random place for weeks/months. this however was not at the heart of my question. the context for my question was simply that over the past year and a half (given covid), i have not been able to see any family as they do not live in germany or europe for that matter. and it's important to me when restrictions on travel lift, that i can spend a month or two working remotely. i would except policies in place that reflect the fact that not everyone has the same cookie-cutter biography. if you want to attract more people of color to your company, then you need to accommodate the fact that some of them might have family elsewhere as well and update some of your policies. instead diversity was treated as a matter of numbers ("we're diverse because we have people from 40 nationalities"). the response i had been looking for was "yes it's possible if your team is ok with it". instead i got a long winded explanation around yes maybe you can work one week from there and take 3 weeks off and we try and make an exception for you. this conversation and the question about salary left me with the impression that the company conflates diversity with nationality. anyway, i get that not every employer or every job will be able to allow for remote work for a month a year (tho i don't see why it wouldn't be possible in this case) but it's a fair question that should not be treated with condescension.
