HR call, asking about the background.
-
Went to the office for an interview.
The interview contained MVQ and some very basic questions. They wanted to hire a backend engineer, but the interviewer did not know backend knowledge in depth, so there were not any high-quality questions.
Questions
- The MCQ contains OS, network, security, and PHP. The questions are easy, even stupid, like if you want to see a .xxx file, which command you are going to use.
- Easy coding questions were written on paper.
