Process

Was referred by a friend to their Amsterdam office. The recruiter got in touch, and the process went as follows:

  1. Online problem-solving test: Two problems, requiring solutions to be submitted online and also described in text. One was hard, and one was medium, but they accepted my non-optimal solution for the hard one.
  2. Online behavioral questionnaire: A fairly large one.

The onsite interview included:

  • A dedicated behavioral interview.
  • Two coding sections, each with one problem to solve (LeetCode-medium difficulty, but requiring dynamic programming or recursion with memoization) and approximately two behavioral questions.
  • A system design section.

I had a pleasant impression of the interviewers. At the time, I had already done quite a bit of LeetCoding, but was not yet in perfect shape. I also didn't practice behavioral aspects as much beforehand; the stories they asked for would be too difficult for me even now.

Questions

Many behavioral questions.

Two LeetCode mediums using DP or memoization.
