Software Engineer Interview Experience - Milan, Italy
Process
I applied online. The process took three weeks.
The hiring process was long and contained multiple stages of exercises. Instead of offering interesting problems, they put as a recurring topic of how to determine the optimal revenue of an app given some metrics. At one point, they broke off the hiring process without any explanation. The interviews felt very improvised with all three interviewers I talked with.
