Home Credit International Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process started with an easy step, followed by a moderate technical round. The technical round is quite important because they give assignments and also judge your business use case thinking process. Then there was an HR round where they basically ask about your past experiences, why you want to join, and your expectations from the role.

First there was a phone call to go over my resume, salary, and expectations. Then, a coding test and a practical data science problem that involved normal coding and EDA. After that, I interviewed with the manager about my past experience and interests. Finally, I spoke with the head of data science, which was similar to the manager interview but more in-depth.

The first step was an HR interview where they would talk about the company and ask some basic questions. Then, they'd email you the next steps. The second step was a tech interview that included definitions of terms, questions about gaps in your resume, and situational questions. Finally, there was an 8-minute QA exam to find bugs on a website. They asked me to be 8-10 minutes early for the technical interview to meet the panel, but it didn't happen. The tech interview itself was difficult because one interviewer was hard to understand due to background noise, and their cameras were off without explanation. I was prepared with my camera on in a quiet place, but they weren't professional. The tech interview was supposed to cover applicant strengths and weaknesses, followed by feedback, which I didn't get. If that interview is any indication of the team, I'm glad I didn't get the job.

I applied on Indeed and was contacted by HR the next day. We set up a phone interview. The recruiter was really rude and made me feel awkward. She said my multiple degrees were 'confusing' and I should rethink putting them on my resume. She kept interrupting me when I answered broad questions, which felt annoying. It was hard to know when she was done writing, making it uncomfortable. The next day, she called to say I needed to completely redo my resume. She didn't think I should include my recent work at a BBQ restaurant or the five-year gap before that. She said I wasn't looking for a BBQ job, sweetie. She then scheduled a call for her and a coworker to walk me through redoing my resume. I just graduated and had professors and career services help with my resume, so I know it's fine. She mentioned she sees resumes all day and was trying to help, but it felt condescending and really turned me off the job. The only reason I kept talking was the good salary. Later that day, I got an offer from another company and accepted it right away. Guess my resume wasn't that bad after all.
