Coding Technical

The first part of the interview involved an online assessment with questions covering operating systems, computer networks, data structures and algorithms, and aptitude. There were also two coding questions that were pretty straightforward and manageable. However, the other sections were very time-limited, which made the overall experience challenging.

Behavioral Case Presentation

A week after I applied, an HR assistant called me to ask some important questions like salary expectations and start date. The first interview was a 30-minute Teams call with the hiring manager where I discussed my CV and answered behavioral questions. For the second interview round, I had to prepare and present a case study on-site, which lasted 90 minutes. After the presentation, I answered some simple questions and then some behavioral questions, which were straightforward if you think from the company's perspective. The next morning, I received a call confirming I got the job.

Confirmed questions5 questions
  • Can you discuss your CV in relation to the job requirements?
  • Do you have any behavioral questions for us?
  • We would like you to prepare and present a case study.
