The interview covered a wide range of topics with a very friendly vibe. There were some programming tasks, but they weren't too tough if you'd already tackled the test assignment. The code from the test assignment was reviewed, and I got some helpful suggestions for improvements in a friendly manner.

My interview process with Playtech kicked off well. They reviewed my CV fast and contacted me for an initial video call with HR. The recruiter was super nice, and we had a good chat. After that, I was invited for an on-site interview in Tallinn. It was pretty standard: they told me about the project, and I got to talk about my background. Then, they asked some tech questions, and at the end, they told me I'd get a take-home task. So far, so good. But after I sent in the task, their communication seemed to drop off. I followed up a couple of times to make sure they got it, but it took days for them to respond. Finally, after 11 days, I got a generic email saying they were moving on with other candidates, with no feedback on my task or any reply to my earlier questions. The process started great, but the lack of response and the impersonal way they handled the end really left a bad taste. If they'd just followed up better and communicated more, it would have been a much better hiring experience.

It was disgusting. First HR tells you there will be a test with closed questions and once you are in the office they are told you there will be no test, there will be 7 questions 2 of which are logic problems, 2 leet problems and only 3 Java questions. P.S. All of this was on paper with a pen for 1.5 hours
Confirmed questions7 questions
- Can you explain interfaces in Java?
- What are Streams in Java, and can you elaborate?
