Backend Developer
For the backend developer role, my interview journey involved several steps. It started with a resume review. Then, I had a technical interview where my skills and experiences were discussed. Following that, I completed a coding test to show my practical abilities. Finally, my problem-solving skills were assessed. Throughout the entire process, I aimed to highlight my technical knowledge, teamwork, and ability to find solutions to challenges.
- Could you detail your background in backend development and the specific technologies you're proficient in?
- Can you share an example of a difficult backend development project you encountered and how you managed the difficulties?
- What's your strategy for tackling backend application performance problems, and what code optimization methods have you applied?
Backend Developer
The interview process was quite fast and straightforward. Initially, they emailed a document with information about the company, its culture, and their work policies. During the live interview, they inquired about my professional background and my alignment with the company's established rules. After confirming these details, they sent a calendar link to schedule the technical interview. If successful, they would then proceed with sending the contract.
- Can you share some details about your background and previous work?
- Do your working practices align with our company's guidelines?
Backend Developer
I got contacted on LinkedIn and set up a call with HR. It was a quick 15-minute chat, pretty basic and friendly. After that, they sent me a link for a test. I joined a Telegram group and signed an NDA. Then the test started, but there were a few issues: 1- the test instructions weren't quite right because the writer missed some parts during my test. 2- the person overseeing the test was unresponsive; I waited 10-20-30 minutes for answers to my questions. 3- the project I was given had setup problems that took me 1.5 hours to fix, and again, the tester didn't help and ignored my messages even after seeing them. Just to note: 1= if there are project issues that are part of the task, they should be explained. Note 2= Why no answers? I set aside 4 hours for your test, but you can't even answer my questions? So, I eventually left the test because I realized this isn't a company I'd want to work for long-term.
