I applied online. I interviewed at Cognitev (Cairo, Cairo Governorate) in Dec 2018
Interview
The interview process was very good, first of all, it was completed in 3 days
The first day was for the interviews and the two other days were trial with a task at Cognitev
The interview day started with two technical interviews, the first one was with a Senior Front End Developer, he asked me a couple of technical questions, and asked about my previous experience
The second technical interview was with the CTO, he asked general technical questions, and he told me about the company and the work environment
Then, the HR interview was like a chit chat and it was very productive to get to know each other
Finally, an interview with the Co-Founder and this one was really inspiring
