Consulting Engineer - Software Interview Experience - Lisbon, Portugal
Process
Interviewers were unsure of the position they were interviewing for, as the job description was too vague, even for them.
Apparently, they intended to hire for two or more positions and conducted all interviews within the same session.
This was quite a mess for such a large company.
Questions
It was all over the place. They started saying that my profile matched more of a programming role, but then began with questions about networking, which was a different role. This all occurred within the same interview.
