Applied online and was requested to do an assessment a month later.
Received a request for a phone screen with the recruiter 3 weeks later.
Talked to the manager a few days after the phone screen. The manager pushed back our initial talk multiple times on the same day, pushing it back 3 times before he finally "found a good time".
The manager then asked if I could do a final interview with his team with short notice, which I could not do. I asked for a different time, and he did not respond very kindly to my response. I asked when the next best times would be, and he would not answer the question.
I asked again a week later, and he said I would have to wait a bit longer. That was the last email I sent, and I heard absolutely nothing from the recruiter, manager, or anyone from recruitment ever again.
This was very disrespectful of my time. I had already received a few offers from other companies, so I was in no rush, but not even responding to me almost 2 months later is a slap in the face.
The process is slow with no clarity between steps. I will never interview with Nokia again.
The assessment was very simple, maybe a question about DFS/BFS and a few questions regarding networking.
The phone screen involved answering a few trivia questions, such as the difference between calloc and malloc, how to deal with high usage times, and what some technologies are.
The manager had me talk a lot about the various technologies I used, briefly about projects, and finally led me into a long discussion about how the internet works, as well as what happens when I visit a website.
