SW Engineer Interview Experience - Cluj-Napoca, Romania
Process
-
The first step is a short online coding task without an interviewer.
-
The second step is an online coding interview with an interviewer.
I did not pass the second interview phase, but even at that step, they really don't care about any of your potential based on your experience and background. At first impression, they search for a "perfect nerd coder," no matter who you are and what you did in the past.
Questions
