Had a talk with the team lead and department head. They asked for a brief intro, introduced themselves, and then explained the job. They talked about what they look for in a person and what qualities are needed. They presented a few scenarios and asked how I would act in those situations. Got a call back within 4 days saying I got the job.

It was a good interview process. They asked some basic questions and a few competency-based questions. The team seemed really friendly. Two people from different business areas interviewed me. The competency questions were engaging. It started with a video interview, followed by an in-person interview conducted face-to-face.

Behavioral Case Technical Other
First interview with HR, really not empathetic, didn't give good vibes. Then interview with the manager, very capable: get-to-know-you and motivational interview, with a small case study. Last interview with the head of the Italy area, a really rude and ill-mannered person. During the whole interview, they didn't make me feel comfortable, all seasoned with not-so-nice barbs. The HR and the manager were also present in this last interview, they seemed to have a reverential fear of the guy, which indicates a toxic environment, where despotism reigns.
Confirmed questions7 questions
- What coffee do you drink?
- Tell me about the last book you read.
