Senior Software Developer Interview Experience - Tallinn

August 1, 2016

Process

6 rounds of interviews:

  1. Call with company HR.
  2. Online coding test. There were multiple theory questions (mostly about frontend) and a trivial practical coding task (algorithm).
  3. Technical interview.
  4. Product interview.
  5. Technical interview.
  6. CEO/CIO interview.

My coding skills, technical knowledge, and experience haven't been checked ever. The only thing I was asked in all interviews was: "Why do you want to work with us?" Even on technical interviews.

Seriously, 70% of any interview is spent asking this question, and other 30% on asking if you fit their working culture. So, the ideal candidate is the person who is a master in ass-licking.

If you try their product or read their technical blog, you will see that their working culture corresponds to the interviewing process: low quality of the product and lack of serious technical experience.

The only positive moment in all interviews was the product interview. That was really fun to solve product issues with the help of their product specialist.

After the 6th interview, I was rejected with the reason: "The answers you gave did not demonstrate a deep level of knowledge."
