Software Engineer Interview Experience - Amsterdam, Netherlands
Process
The interview process was fairly generic, starting with a chat with the recruiter, followed by coding and system design assessments.
The coding and system design interview was conducted by three individuals who remained mostly silent throughout. They could benefit from better training on when to offer assistance or a hint, and also on fostering a more relaxed atmosphere to help the applicant feel at ease.
