Applied online, then the recruiter reached out after about a week. Had a chat with the recruiter some days after that. Interviewed with the hiring manager about 2.5 weeks later. The process was good overall from an interview standpoint - they were very targeted and it helped both sides figure out if the role was a good fit.

Technical
I applied to Swedbank, but honestly, don't bother with them. They sent me an online test from Alva Labs AB, which felt like a total waste of time. I scored really well on the "Logical Ability" test, in the 84th - 93rd percentile, but they still rejected me. Their reason was: "We have decided to proceed with other applicants who we believe more closely matched the job requirements for this specific job opening." It's frustrating because I felt I was a good fit, so why make me do the test if I wasn't going to be considered?

Behavioral Presentation
The interview process started with an introductory call with HR and a team leader. It was a casual chat, no technical questions, just a chance to present my background and skills. They seemed nice, and we shared thoughts, though there were many questions about my personality and their English wasn't the best. It felt a bit like a game show at times. My advice: they should hire interviewers with better English skills. They didn't provide info on visa sponsorship for non-EU residents. I was expecting feedback in two weeks, but got it earlier, within the same week. Unfortunately, my application was rejected. One reason cited was 'being impatient' due to my honesty about my personality, and another was their need for more 'senior' teammates, which wasn't clear from the job description. Clear communication is key. My initial impression was good, but it turned out they had a negative view of my profile. I suggest skipping this company to save your time.
