When I started, the work environment was good, with a nice office, gym, and active company sports and social clubs. The company clearly values its employees, with regular opportunities to give feedback and communicate with management at all levels (the CEO will even respond to direct emails).
Because of the size of the company, it can be difficult to get things done. Everyone gets tied down with bureaucracy, which will frustrate most.
Constant pressure to deliver planned products doesn't leave any time to innovate or try anything new, unless it's mandated from on high.
Lost a lot of technical expertise with recent mass redundancies, and I'm not sure how well they'll cope afterwards.
Untie the hands of talented people, and let them innovate and deliver great products.
4-hour interview: 1 hour with team leader/direct manager 1 hour coding test 1 hour with HR representative and line manager
Learn from basics like C and Java. If you know Python, add it from your resume and learn it. Understand the difference between lists and tuples, exception handling, SQL, and JDBC. Writing queries is key in the interview.
After the phone screening, I had a Zoom interview with the group leader. A few minutes before the call, I received some code. It was an interesting and challenging interview. The interview was very nice and polite. I didn't pass the interview.
