It's a pretty complicated process with several interviews. There's a screening process where the interviewer covers different aspects with each division, and you need approvals from several departments. It's not easy to get hired in companies like these.

The trainee program interview process started with recording video answers on RecRight. After that, there were an aptitude test and more interviews, though I didn't personally experience those. The communication about the recruitment process was timely and informative, in my opinion.

Behavioral Presentation Other
The interviewers were really nice, and the environment was super supportive throughout. It started with a pre-screening where they asked some general questions. Then, there was a VDO recording round where I had to answer two questions within one minute each. The final interview lasted about 30-45 minutes. Just make sure you're confident speaking English and have a positive attitude.

Technical Behavioral
The application process was a bit of a hassle, involving both submitting a CV and then re-entering all that info into their system. But the interviews themselves were pretty good. I enjoyed it because it wasn't excessively technical. In an era where many companies give weird tests and then put a lot of pressure on candidates, Finnair was a nice change of pace. They did ask iOS-related technical questions, but the main goal was to get to know each other and see if we were a good fit.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Can you explain how to prevent memory leaks in iOS development?
- Could you discuss technical aspects of iOS development, such as threading and debugging?
