Full Stack Developer Interview Experience - Amsterdam, Netherlands

November 1, 2019
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

A recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn, using the tactic of stating the salary was "up to a very big amount."

We then had a quick phone call for the recruiter to explain a little more about the company and its benefits.

The next step was a HackerRank test, which included some theory questions and two of those ridiculous puzzles.

Moving on, there was a remote live coding session on HackerRank with two developers. This involved one front-end problem and one back-end problem.

The final step was a face-to-face interview at the company's headquarters with three interviewers:

  • Two front-end developers (working on a tooltip)
  • Two back-end developers (working on "Game of Life")
  • A director for a behavioral interview

I did not receive a call with feedback. Instead, I received a generic, automatic email stating they had decided not to proceed with my application.
