The first round involved a discussion about my resume and some case studies. After that, I had to give a Powerpoint presentation for a proposal. The second round was the final interview with a senior executive. Then HR handled the salary discussion.

Coding Behavioral

So I had this interview with a panel of people, they called themselves professionals but they seemed totally out of touch with current tech and the market, like they were stuck in the early 2000s. The questions they asked were so dated. With my 17 years of IT experience at big companies, it felt like time travel. In the age of AI, they didn't seem to know anything about modern programming. Expecting a manager to open an IDE and code line-by-line shows they don't get what a leadership role needs. They really need to fix their interview process.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • What number of companies have you worked for?
  • Can you write code in Java?
