Java Software Engineer Interview Experience - Finland

May 1, 2022

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I do not recommend applying to this company. Their hiring process is not well-designed:

They pay attention to unnecessary subtle details and miss the overall picture of a candidate.
Their recruiter is not respectful and behaves in a "teaching" manner, as if you owe them something.

It was quite surprising and unpleasant to discover.
