Software Engineer Interview Experience - Stockholm, Sweden

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

First, the recruiter talks about the job. This is followed by an offline coding challenge, which was passed.

Then, a logic test was administered and passed.

Next was a skill test. Two people casually discussed how a project could be designed. You will be sent the code 24 hours in advance to prepare and set up. They wanted me to design the infrastructure but asked me to explain the components. Perhaps I am not qualified to understand that.

Finally, there was a behavioral test where questions related to leadership values were asked. You either have to create a story or, if you're lucky, recount an experience. It's hard to tell what they take from the story.

I was unsuccessful in the behavioral test using a real-life story. Solving problems based on your timed decisions may not be impressive to them.

Research extensively and come up with a compelling story. (Apologies, I don't know exactly what they are looking for.)
