Process

Initially, a telephone screening was conducted. It lasted around 50 minutes. The screening covered Java basics and SQL basics, followed by questions about the reasons for looking for a new opportunity.

A week later, I received a call for a face-to-face interview.

The recruiter mentioned that there would be one or two technical interviews followed by an HR interview. However, upon arrival, I learned that there would be a one-hour skills test. This test assessed problem-solving skills, Java skills, and SQL skills, followed by an assessment and discussion of the solutions provided.

This was unexpected, but I performed well on the written test. Following the written test, two different interviewers separately discussed the solutions I had written.

Afterward, I was asked to wait for a short period. Within five minutes, I received an update that I could leave for the day.
