I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Ericsson (Gothenburg) in Sep 2022
Interview
Very demanding interview for very not-demanding people.
The first two steps were testing my technical skills. That's it... not an introduction, no greetings. I asked for an interview before testing my skills to make sure I will not waste 3:30 hours in case Ericsson cannot match my expectations and the Ericsson's internal recruiter straight up lied to me that there will be an introduction before testing my skills .
The final process was the following:
- Solve 3 algorythms in online platform (2:30 hours)
- Technical interview and live coding (1 hour)
- Introduction to the company (finaly!) and offer of the role! They also requested to bring 3 referrals from previous managers of 3 different companies (for real...)
I wrote 100% accuracy and performance just to get a 'We can match your current salary' response!! My current salary is 20% lower than the market! I asked them if they can double that! Where is all of their confidence went as soon as I proved my skills?!
If they are going to be the most demanding company, they also need to offer equal or more than the rest of the market and not waste people's time.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Can you get to your previous jobs and get a referral from all your managers?
Array of doors [0,0,1,0....1]. Loop through it and toggle the values. First toggle the doors 1,2,3 e.t.c then the doors 2,4,6 e.t.c then the doors 3,6,9 e.t.c

interview with hiring managers
I had a great experience with ericsson during my interviews and had many great feedbacks from them but waited months for the result.
advice: not worth the wait. also do not feel complacent about their compliments.
also be professional, provide your candidate on time feedback/result.
