I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at APPSfactory in Oct 2024
Interview
The technical interview was really well structured. First going through the CV (which is nice because the interviewers seemed motivated to know me as a person and get a better image of me), then theoretical questions and then code challenge.
This felt really like an enjoyable discussion. The technical questions were really good and on point - about Java core and Spring concepts. The code challenge was like a Codeforces lvl A problem, which was really fun.
The interviewers were really polite and respectful and was great to discuss with them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were many questions, but some of them were basic questions like: what is a bean in Spring, what is an immutable class, ways of creating components in Spring, annotations, collections in Java etc.
And further discussions around that.
I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at APPSfactory (Chisinau) in Apr 2025
Interview
The quickest hiring process in my professional experience.
On Friday I had I call with HR, at the start of the next week a technical one, on Thursday - a final call with COO and 15 minutes after that call - an offer.
So, if you want to be the slowest person in the process - it might be a good choice :)
+ Fast processes, responses, no ghosting at any stage
+ Personalised technical interview questions, no questions that are not relevant to the position
+ Individual approach, possibility of exceptions to the rules for the comfort of employees (not really related to the interview, but these points are discussed there)
- Personally, I didn't have enough time to communicate with my immediate manager or C-level manager during the process, but I think the speed was worth it
