The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

Interview process was split into a behavioral and a technical part. Behavioral was your standard set of experiential and situational questions (45 minutes). The second half of the interview was a technical interview where they describe a specific scenario and see what technologies and frameworks you would use to structure an application or modify the scenario. The second half is also about 45 minutes and has multiple questions.Candidate-reported process
The interview was mostly based on my resume. They asked simple questions from python and sql. Having basic understanding of programming and the skills written in the resume is enough. They gave me a python script and asked me to explain it. Other than that they didn’t ask any coding questions. They also asked some questions from my projects.Candidate-reported process
They contacted me after finding my CV. We had a short phone interview where they asked about my previous experience and salary and such. Then they called me for an in person interview and really low balled me on the offer.Candidate-reported process
