Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
1 on 1 Interview
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
First, you apply online. You receive one initial online test, both behavioral and with some interpretation of the graph questions.

If you are selected, you receive a second test. This is a job simulation with recorded video internviews. You will be asked to organize your calendar for a week, based on the instruction they provide you. You are asked to read an article and write a report answering questions they ask.
If you successfully complete that. You will be called for AC.

You enter a Zoom room with HRs and Assessors. HRs introduce the format of the day and let the assessors introduce themselves. Then candidates must briefly introduce themselves, by also adding something interesting about themselves. Candidates are then moved to another zoom room where another HRs gives more details on the organization of the day. Half of the candidates are assessed in the morning and half in the afternoon. If you are assessed in the afternoon you’ll be asked to disconnect and join later.

Interviews

The AC comprises 3 interviews, all of them have the same following format:

1. Initial warm-up question. Not evaluated in theory, but use it as a way to differentiate yourself and be an exceptional candidate (Tell me about your hobby, tell me of your greatest achievement)

2. Technical questions and Brainteasers

3. Strengths Based Questions

4. General Questions: I think that this is the only part where the interviewers have a little bit more room for discretion. I was asked what I knew about what the specific team I was interviewing with does.

Conclusion

You are moved in a room with HRs and all the assessors for final greetings
