Software Engineer (Special Projects Group) Interview Experience - Russia
Process
The interview process involved one 30-minute screening call, followed by a one-hour technical interview with an engineer from the team.
HR was the primary contact and handled the situation well, communicating frequently, offering tips, and explaining the process and what to expect.
The screening call focused on my previous experience and work style, and it also allowed me to clarify the team's goals and direction.
The technical interview assessed concept understanding and decision-making. The majority of questions covered multi-threading, data structures, and web-app development. There were no whiteboarding questions.
The interviewer was very pleasant, and it felt like a casual conversation.
I did not receive an offer, and this was communicated within a few days after the interview, which I appreciated. I requested feedback but received no response. Nevertheless, the overall experience was good, and I was aware of the questions I had not answered.

I was told I was doing great the whole internship until the last week, when they decided to tell me I was writing test cases too slowly (even though I met every deadline). I did not have any time to fix this issue.
