Case Presentation Group
The interviews had several phases. First, there was a group interview where I had to solve a case independently. My specific case involved creating a presentation using Telia's brand and developing an original idea for one of their business sectors.

Behavioral
The interview at Telia felt really friendly and relaxed, which was nice. They asked pretty standard questions about my background, my previous experiences, and what motivates me. It was a pretty natural conversation where I could talk about my skills and interests.

Behavioral Technical Coding
There were usually three interviews, but I ended up having four. The first 30-minute interview was with HR, who went over the details and asked about my past work. Then, there was a 1-hour interview with the team lead, which felt pretty relaxed. It was a bit awkward for me because it seemed like the team lead hadn't prepared any questions, and I ended up asking more than he did. The third interview was a 1.5-hour technical session with some technical folks, involving a JavaScript test and a live coding exercise. As an introvert, I found this interview really uncomfortable, almost like an oral exam. Despite getting positive feedback on my technical abilities, they were really focused on whether I genuinely wanted the role and the company. They kept asking about my concerns and what I typically dislike about jobs, even adding another interview for this. In the end, I wasn't hired because of the exact things I pointed out. So, I'm left with pretty mixed feelings about the whole interview experience.

Behavioral Other
The hiring process involved three main steps. To begin, you had to create an account on their HR site to submit your application and CV. Next, you were presented with 4-5 video interview questions that you had to answer on a separate platform. The final stage was an in-person interview at their office. Following the interview, I got a tour of the workspace to see what the actual job entails. Although they said they'd get back to me sooner, I didn't hear about their hiring decision until two weeks after the interview.
