Typical HR interview about university studies, past experiences, familiarity with technologies and motivation for the company and role. Coding on a problem that requires an algorithmic solution. Technical discussion on computer science knowledge and software engineering practices.

The interview process is ridiculously lengthy.. First you go through a typical HR interview which was ok but short on the context you get a very abstract description of what your job will be. They also told me that the overtime is not paid and they were quite vague for the compensation ( they gave me a range but they said that it's not certain this will be it). Next you go through the live coding interview which has very strict timeline and indirectly assumes you have a base project ready to go. The task wasn't tricky and it is relevant to the job itself ,although as I said the time was very limited! After that you go through 2 rounds of technical "dialogue" as they like to call it ( one 1.5 hours and another one 1 hour ). I only did the first one and it was more of an interrogation than a dialogue! The questions are very specific and they supposedly test the depth of your knowledge on a LOT of subjects! For the backend position I got asked REST, java, OOP, relational DB, spring, hibernate, security e.t.c. The interview was quite tiring and stressful and the questions were more related to game show ones rather than meaningful ones that focus on testing your problem solving skills. You could be a good engineer and simply not have stumbled into the stuff you were asked or you could have heard about them but didn't gave enough attention! The interviewer has no feeling of the "dialogue" and the more questions you answer the more you will be asked. After those stages you have a CTO interview as the cherry on top
