I applied online. I interviewed at Coolblue (Rotterdam) in Feb 2022
Interview
The process had three rounds: a recruiter call, a soft skills interview, and a technical interview based on a take-home assignment. The early rounds were pleasant and well run. The technical round was weaker, the questions were fairly basic for the level of the role, and the tone came across as condescending. I was also given technical feedback during the rejection that I believe was factually incorrect, which made it hard to see the assessment as fair.
