The hiring process at ING takes an average of 60 days when considering 2 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Software Engineer had the quickest hiring process (on average 30 days), whereas Digital Media Specialist roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 90 days).
Started with an extensive explanation of my CV and cover letter. Skipped the "HR questions" but had to explain things I did at the university.
Then followed by some technical questions regarding derivatives.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ING (Riad) in Dec 2017
Interview
There was a 3 Phases.
Phase 1: "Codility" test (for 90 minutes), which I passed.
Phase 2: They asked me to send some code written by me and I did, which got reviewed from their side and then I became qualified to the next phase.
Phase 3: 2 hours of Skype interviews which is divided on 2 interviews the first is 90 minutes technical interview and the second is 30 minutes interview with the manager.
************ Conclusion *********
Eventually, I got rejected because my knowledge of Javascript is not good enough! (However, the only question I was asked about JS is "From a scale from 1 to 5... How do you rate your JS knowledge?!!!")
I replied back with my comment about It is not honest enough to reject me for something (JavaScript) I have never been tested against, but I never heard back from them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
However the interview was about Senior Java Position, I just asked a couple of questions about Java and nothing about Javascript.
The interview questions were about:
1. Data structure and algorithms (30 minutes)
2. Operating Systems Concepts (System calls, concurrency, etc, Device Drivers.)
3. TCP/IP Layered protocol ( I was really really good at this when I was in college :) )
Till now about 1 hour or more passed from the 90 minutes interview...
4. Couple of questions about REST, Java Concurrency and Testing
I could understand the emphasis on the OS, algorithms design and analysis is to be asked at Google & Amazon-like companies or to be asked to a fresh engineer he is just graduated from the university with a fresh knowledge.
I am not denying their questions about OS, Data structure, and algorithms, but to make most on the interview for such topics and eventually got rejected because my knowledge in JavaScript is not enough is not honesty in reporting the Interview status.
I answered the algorithms question and OS, TCP/IP from memory (which mostly wasn't that accurate as I left university more than 10 years back).
I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at ING in Jan 2013
