Frontend Engineer Interview Experience - Amsterdam, Netherlands
Process
I applied for their Amsterdam office.
After the first two interviews, there were still about four more stages to go.
What I noticed was that the interviewers were all young and inexperienced, which made the interview environment really toxic. They seemed more focused on proving themselves rather than listening to the candidate.
I'd recommend valuing your time and avoiding this lengthy and time-consuming process with this company. The interviews were very different from their titles, and they won't ask you what's mentioned in the invitation email.
Questions
The first interview is mostly about HR topics, but the next five are purely technical.
There’s not enough time, and the interviewer seems more focused on trying to confuse you rather than evaluating your skills.
