The interview was mostly about my work experience, especially focusing on financial statement analysis. They asked about things like how you'd analyze Netflix's balance sheet, particularly the deferred revenue part. The questions were mainly about unusual financial statement items like deferred revenue, prepaid expenses, and one-off P&L items from other income.

Technical Case Behavioral

It was a good interview. They asked good questions, like puzzles and guesstimates. Communication was good. Discussions were good and helpful. Quizzes were good. It was a relaxing time with break time. I had fun. A good interview is engaging, informative, and shows clear communication, demonstrating skills and enthusiasm for the role and company. It involves listening, responding thoughtfully, and maintaining a positive, professional demeanor.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process I went through had the following stages: Initial screening: after submitting my CV, HR contacted me for an initial introductory interview where we discussed my professional background, motivations, and interest in the position. English test: next, I had to take an English language test to assess my language skills, which are presumably necessary for the role. Technical interviews: based on the test results, two separate technical interviews were organized, where I discussed specific aspects related to the role, technologies, and my experience. Final stage: after the last technical interview, I haven't received any updates from the company, neither feedback nor communication about the outcome of the process.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Could you outline the key stages involved in spinning off IT infrastructure?
