Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process began with an online IQ test, followed by an on-site interview where I took the same test again. The interview was conducted by the analytics team manager, who was a good interviewer.

I received a small coding assignment before the next interview, which was technical and conducted with two developers. During this interview, they asked me to describe an application I had worked with and then inquired about the assignment. Specifically, they asked how I would change the code to make it work for more types of data.

The following day, I received an email stating they would not proceed with my application due to a perceived lack of skills.

My only guess is that they were seeking someone with more microservice architecture experience, though I might be mistaken. Microservices were mentioned approximately 20 times during the technical interview, indicating their significant importance to them.
