Smartmatic Interview Questions
& Process

For this role, employers are less focused on a lot of experience and more on finding someone who is available, keen to learn, can manage themselves, and take responsibility for finishing projects on time. This might mean working extra hours sometimes or even managing a team.

A recruiter from Panama reached out via email about a role. After a brief chat, I completed a remote test with relevant questions, which went okay. Next, I had a video interview with a senior engineer who asked some relevant questions. Following that, I met with HR and was told I'd get an offer. A week later, I hadn't received anything, and the recruiter advised me to wait. This was six months ago, and I haven't heard back since.

So I had three interviews when I first went in. First was HR where we talked about company mission and vision, and they gave me an office tour. Then I met a fellow who's in the same position I'd be in for a personal interview. Finally, I met my prospective supervisor for a technical interview. They also emailed me a business case to analyze and give recommendations on within 72 hours. My report was good enough, so they invited me back for another round. This time, I had to give a presentation on my report to a technical and administrative audience, and then another one via videoconference, with Q&A at the end. After all that, there was a more formal HR interview.

I was a bit nervous before the interview because I was excited about the possibility of working in this field. I answered the interviewer's questions honestly and bravely. It was a relief to be hired, and I'm excited about starting in an industry I think I'll really enjoy.
