You’re convinced that this interview is going to be a total waste of time, and you can’t help feeling irritated. If you try to go through all steps, as soon as it starts taking longer, you’ll be lost in frustration.
I would say it is a long process involving some video calls before finally meeting someone face to face.
Firstly, someone from HR will get in contact to ask you questions relevant to the position. However, they don't know exact details about the role. This part can take a few weeks until they get some time and show up for the call.
Secondly, someone who does have technical knowledge will contact you and ask you these useless theoretical questions that nobody really cares about and make no difference in your day-to-day.
They will even ask you to explain quotes from a book or questions that will come up on the top page when you start Googling.
So, if you want to move forward from this stage, you should search for theoretical interview questions. The top 10 questions that come up will be asked during this call.
It is a shame that no one really cares about all the projects you have worked on, system architecture, or important stuff just like that.
Then, finally, they will contact you to go to the company and spend half a day with them. During this time, there will be three or more interviews with different teams asking the same questions.
Summarizing, the entire process took me over months, and I had no feedback at all.
Really disappointed in how they deal with candidates.
Theoretical questions only.
