Software Engineer Interview Experience - Romania

Process

I am quite disappointed to say that the whole process was a nightmare for me. I was first contacted by a recruiter regarding the job, asking if I would be interested.

I then took the online test, which was quite easy. The recruiter contacted me after a whole month, even though he said he would contact me within a week maximum (I even messaged him with no response). He was quite pleased with my results and proceeded with the interview process.

Within a week, I was scheduled to take the four interviews. This was a little tiring for me because they took place in the afternoon, from 6 PM to 10 PM.

After this, I was again told I would be contacted within a week for interview feedback. I was contacted about this about a month later. Although I received positive feedback, they told me they had no openings for me but would get back to me at the beginning of the new year.

They did not. I again contacted them to check, and it has been two weeks with still no answer.

I am a little confused as to why I was told in the first place that they have thousands of openings for every level, and after the interviews, suddenly they don't have openings. This whole process was a joke, I believe.

Questions

The interview questions were not hard. I don't remember them very well, but they were mostly SDA and OOP questions.

As long as you show them you are a team player, ask for clarification, and explain your process, it should be okay.
