Junior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Stockholm, Sweden
Process
The interview process was long.
It started with a test of moving dots.
Then, there was a skills test that took 24 hours. It included three questions: two coding questions and one computer science question involving recursion.
Next, a behavioral interview took place where senior developers asked questions, and I also had the opportunity to ask questions.
Finally, there was a technical interview in which I was given a codebase to study. I didn't pass the first time, but they gave me a second chance and told me what to focus on, which I thought was great.
Questions
One thing they asked during the interview was to describe a challenge in my working period and how I overcame it.

- 1.0The most toxic workplace, avoid!Senior Java Engineer (Developer) • Current EmployeeFebruary 9, 2024Pros: Only if you have no money or need a visa and have no other options, otherwise run! You might get to meet some cool people, but that is the case in any company with multi thousand employees.Cons: Toxic Management pretending to be woke and care about employees, but they are as evil as any other big corp that is vicious! Lot of layoffs, re-orgs, and a CEO thinking of himself as a god! Cult-ish environment, having to fight over a small amount of promotion. Making excuses and giving RSUs which are worth nothing.
