I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sky (Porto, Oporto) in Aug 2022
Interview
I would not recommend dealing with Sky (at least the Portugal entity).
Overall experience was terrible. And that's why:
1. Salary negotiation on EVERY step of the interview.
2. A pretty hardcore Hackerrank section.
3. Absolutely dumb technical interview (junior level questions).
4. Refused to continue (final stage) if I won't drastically decrease my salary expectations (that already was in the mid-range).
3. As a result I was ghosted for around 2 weeks and a cold message ("We won't be able to proceed for now. We'll keep in touch for the future.") after.
- Interview with the hiring manager. (~30 min)
- Hackerrank grinding (2 medium problems and 1 medium/hard) as a home assignment. (~2 hours)
- Technical iOS interview with 2 engineers.
