First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at OSF Digital.
Front End Developer
So, first up was this English test, kinda like 50 questions to check my English skills. It covered grammar, vocab, reading, and writing. For grammar, it was all about sentence structure, tenses, and punctuation. Vocab needed me to know synonyms, antonyms, and word meanings. Reading had passages with questions to see if I got it. Writing asked me to respond clearly. After that, I had an HR interview. I started by introducing myself and my background. Then, I talked about some projects I'd done, like what they were for, how I did them, what tools I used, what problems came up, and what happened in the end. I made sure to explain my part, showing how I solve problems, work in teams, and my tech skills. They also asked general HR stuff, like tricky situations I've dealt with, or a good team project. There were also 'what if' questions to check my decision-making. They asked why I want to join them and my 5-year plan. They also wanted to know if I fit with their company culture and values, asking what I knew about them and why I'm a good match.

The interview was easy but the test was quite difficult, and I had to compete with 12 other people from around the world. Of course, I failed. I was just a student, and they were adults with more free time.
