First step was call with recruiter. She told that she will call me at 15:00.
She called at 18:00 when I was with my family..
Second step was Hackerrank test. It was ok
Thrid step skype meeting. It was bad in my opinion.
Only one person had camera on. Almost whole 1 hour recruitment board was asking technical questions, very specific ones with little time to answer.
Some of the questions was very unclear.
At the end I had very little time like 5 min to ask my questions and had 2 answered..
When I was answering questions I heard laughing - THAT was very unprofessional and derogatory.
It seemed that devs are not happy with current projects by they answers. All working in legacy code from 2000s with threading and concurrency - I've noticed that by many questions about this..
Fortunately I was able to ask about projects, it will be a nightmare for me to work in such stuff.
It seemed that they are not willing to recruit anybody or expecting hacker with microservices experience to code in J2EE and Swing xD
I don't have nothing to this guys, job is job sometimes you need to work in legacy. But not for me.
I declined offer.
I joined for a junior role and the interview process was very straightforward. First step was filling some online forms about general fit. Then a technical interview over Teams - no live coding was involved, only questions about my past experience, the technologies I worked with and how I would solve problem xyz. After that it's straight to manager interview and decision.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give a detailed overview of how you would design a pipeline for streaming large amounts of data and reduce the risk of throttling or failure.
Group interview with 2 other people. They give us a problem, allow us 15 minutes of prep time, then each will sequentially get access to a keyboard to code for 10 minutes. After the code, each person is asked about what went well and what could be better
Made it to 3rd round.
1st round -> Aptitude Assessment
2nd round -> Hirevue
3rd round -> Mob Programming
Didnt make it past the mob programming session, (mob programming includes a group coding session where you and two other candidates work together to solve a problem)
