I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Text (Wrocław) in Feb 2018
Interview
Hiring process was split into 2 parts:
1. ~2h interview with team leader and HR.
I was asked to show a solution for two tasks – one algorithmic (I had to show my idea for a solution with estimated computational complexity) and one about designing a simple system. Then I could ask my questions about the project.
2. "Trial day"
I was working with the team for whole one day, I was presented two tasks, one to solve a bug in the code and one to discuss possible solutions. After finishing my tasks I had a brief talk with CTO about my career goals and if my goals fit with company's goals, also my english language skills were reviewed.
Everything took 8 days – from the first interview to final job offer.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Design an algorithm for detecting "islands" in 2D array where 1 field represents whether there is a land or not. It's an on-line algorithm, where you get information about "land" fields 1-by-1.
