Process

Interview Process

  1. Recruiter Call (1h)
  2. Technical Test (Home assignment, 5 days)
  3. Video Interview (Technical & Behavioural, 1h, 2 exercises)

The interview process is easy which makes it more difficult to understand on what basis they selected/rejected your application.

Recruiter call The initial screening was mostly about cultural fit & my work background.

Technical Test The technical test is not so difficult but it takes some days to complete.

Video Interview The exercises were not difficult but this experience was horrible. I never had a similar experience with a technical interviewer. Seems he tried to find a way to reject me in all ways. Even if I was giving my answers, he didn't explain or showed his agreement or doubts/concerns but in the end, he didn't give positive feedback because I was rejected.

I think that he is not appropriate to do interviews, probably he should only code.

I did other technical interviews so I can do comparisons.

Anyway, I don't recommend applying for this company because the interview process is ridiculous and the same for all positions (junior or senior)

The management should revise the way to get good candidates and choose better interviewers with the right skills.

The only one thing positive is that I will never lose my time in the future with this company.
