Software Developer - (Willing to Learn Perl) - Amsterdam Interview Experience - Melbourne, Australia
Process
Applied online through an Australian job site (Seek.com). Received a call a few days later from a recruiter asking a few basic questions about willingness to move, etc., and to arrange a technical interview.
The technical interview was about two weeks later with two engineers, one of whom didn't really speak. They took me through three questions, requiring me to write code in an online tool and asked questions about my solutions. The engineers were quite friendly and tried to help me out as I made mistakes.
Questions
Some stuff about ordering lists, exponential searches, very CS oriented.

- 2.0A swamp - you will drownSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeAmsterdam, NetherlandsOctober 28, 2023Pros: Amazing work-life balance. You can practically avoid work for months; nobody cares anyway. Decent benefits for Amsterdam.Cons: The product – backed up by a 25-year-old Perl monolith nobody understands. Change? You won't be able to either. Career perspectives – the only way is to go into management; you will not grow technically here. Culture – as they cannot deliver results, they like to talk about them. Be prepared for an endless flow of meetings showing off nothing and talking about plans that will never be completed. High churn – people were either working for 10+ years (too comfortable to leave already) or less than 2 (still tied to a contract).
- 4.0Great scale and a lot of new techSoftware Engineer II • Current EmployeeAmsterdam, NetherlandsDecember 8, 2022Pros: - New Tech Adoption - Scale is greatCons: Less than a year at the company. So, none as of now.
