August 1, 2019
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The overall process took 3 weeks.

Initially, you'll be sent an online assessment to complete, from which you'll receive a downloadable report (useful for transparency purposes).

The assessment is a combination of:

  • Logical thinking questions (shapes, etc.)
  • Phrasing questions
  • A set of questions asking how much you agree/disagree, describing various situations in teams.

If your online test results are good enough, the next step is a call with the recruiter, with typical HR-people questions (who you are, etc.).

If the hiring manager also likes you, you'll get to have a live-coding technical interview with 2 backend developers. They'll give you an algorithm to code, ask questions about memory and algorithm complexity, and then ask you abstract technical questions.
