Software Engineer Interview Experience - Amsterdam, Netherlands
Process
First, there was a HackerRank test. After that, an HR Skype call followed, and then a technical Skype call.
If the technical Skype call had been positive, I would have received an invitation to a full day of on-site interviews. This day would have consisted of two technical interviews and two HR interviews. That's a lot of interviewing.
The interviewers seemed quite bored. I understand they must have a lot of throughput, but I don't think that's an excuse for appearing uninterested.
