Application
I applied online. I interviewed at TOPdesk (Budapest (Hungary)) in September 2019.
Interview
There was a very long interview, with a lot of irrelevant questions. (One person from HR and one scrum master. ) At first, there is a completely unnecessary presentation about the company, with information that you can find on the website and on the company's facebook page anyway. Then there were a lot of questions about my previous studies, workplaces and my private life. There were also some logical exercises at the end. The conversation was very friendly, but that was very misleading...
There were questions about what I studied 15-20 years ago (!) and why. They were a bit too nosy about my private life.
As a woman over 35 in Hungary, I've been discriminated against several times before. This was also a just waste of time.Continue ReadingInterview Questions

Application
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2+ weeks. I interviewed at TOPdesk (Budapest (Hungary)) in July 2018.
Interview
I'm not sure about the order of these:
* They sent an algorithm challenge I could work in my own time. They sent Java class with method skeleton and unit tests. They judge this on both correctness and style of the solution.
* They invited me to solve a similar challenge in the office. Also, discussion about experience, personality, etc.
* They invited me to discuss the design and style of a piece of (working) code -- that they also sent in advance, so there was prep time. Another talk about personality match.
Overall it was a VERY positive experience. However, if you seem not to be a cultural fit, they reserve the right to stop the process. So your experience may differ...
I got an offer but chose a different one and I regret it now :-(Continue ReadingInterview Questions

I applied in-person. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at TOPdesk (Budapest (Hungary)).
Interview
First I had a homework. After that without question they arranged a timeslot for me in the middle of the day. I told them the timeslot is not suitable for me and asked to have it from 8.00 any days. They said that it cannot be done beacuse they work from 9.00... after some weeks they invited me for 8.00 and after the
whole 2 hours interview told me that they wanted a fullstack developer... I was very very disappointed !Continue ReadingInterview Questions

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ weeks. I interviewed at TOPdesk (Budapest (Hungary)) in August 2016.
Interview
The process was highly standardized, pleasant and professional. Before the first interview, I was asked to share some pet projects and solve a homework assignment, that took me around four hours (it was a basic combinatorial game theory exercise in plain java, with textual input). Got a positive response a couple of days later, and got invited to the first round of interview.
The first interview was mostly an HR interview with a senior developer and an HR person. It started with an introduction of the company and the product, followed by personal questions about my goals, preferences and history. There was also a small brainteaser that I had to solve in Eclipse.
The second round was technical, with two senior developers. During the first short challenge I had to implement the service functionality for a UI component. Got some feedback on my coding style, and went on to the second exercise: a code review of a smaller project. It was both a communication exercise and a test for clean code principles and design patterns.
The hole process was in English, from the homework exercise to the job offer.Continue ReadingInterview Questions

Thank you for sharing your feelings.
Yes, that is true we had questions about your hobbies, reasons for your chosen carrier path, related to the questions posed to you about your childhood. The reason behind this, as we explained during the interview as well, is that we wanted to get to know you better as a person and would like to understand your motivation.
We did not ask your age since that is absolutely not relevant to us.
At TOPdesk we are proud of the diversity of our colleagues!
At the end of the interview there was an abstract thinking puzzle to work on together. As I explained in my e-mail, our decision was based on your performance during the exercise. The complexity of our software and the requirements for the position makes it necessary to have a high level of abstract thinking.
Your exercise results did not reach our required company level, which is necessary, for this particular position.
We wish you the best with your career!
