This was my first IT-related job interview and it was awesome, but I was dumb and failed awfully = )

It takes a lot of time between initial contact and onsite interview due to a big conference where company team members participated that time.I was asked to do a small test job (IDE plugin testing), rather simple if done with diligence and patience. HR also asked about contacts from my previous job (they called in fact!).

The first part of the live interview was held by two HRs with standard questions about previous experience, plans and so on.The second part was held by the PM (via remote communication from Germany) and one of the project engineers. I expected questions about testing theory, but the majority was language specific (Python) and I was bad with it.

The company compensated my travel expenses. HRs were exceptionally professional and friendly, they provided a complete road map of the interview process, offered a tea and a little snack upon my arrival. Overall experience was great, one of the best interview process I ever saw.
