Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Altium Limited (Belgrade) nel mese di ott 2024
Colloquio
Unlike most of the interviews I had in Belgrade, that one was exceptionally bad. Their recruiter wrote me on Linkedin first, asking for the meeting. During the call, that person (half of my age) out-of-nothing played arrogant and unproffessional. She was literally saying nonsense like "it's a privilege to work here" etc.
Then, Altium's way to assess competency is a home assignment, a lengthy one. During the same call I pointed out that:
1) I have lots of public activity for a preliminary assessment of my skills and knowledge,
2) I would rather go for on-site interview, as their office is just a 10-minute drive from my place, and
3) I would like to talk to a tech person first, raise some questions to ensure that assignment is not a total waste of MY time.
Yet that particular HR person didn't care. No big deal, I wouldn't bother with a home assignment anyway.
Again, the overall experience was surreal. About the same time I got an offer from a big tech company in the same area, and those guys had manners and common sense. Altium did not.
Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Altium Limited (Portugal)
Colloquio
The initial call with the recruiter was fine and conducted politely. However, when I followed up with some additional questions via email, I was told that I should have asked them during the initial call and was made to feel as though I was wasting her time.
I found this response somewhat unprofessional and not in line with what I would expect from a positive candidate experience.
The interview consists of 4 parts.
1. Recurter Screening.
2. Team interview, a brief discussion on tech topics with the staff.
3. Technical interview. It can be on-site/remote.
4. Meeting the manager.
