Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Bitpanda (Vienna) nel mese di apr 2025
Colloquio
Very transparent every step of the way.
My take on the coding assignment is biased as I didn't get pass that stage. That being said, I think coding assignment style of hiring is a bit outdated and in my case lead to misunderstanding.
As someone with 7+ years in the industry doing that job, I can't imagine someone would need to take care about every single little detail in the example that you're supposed to prepare. My expectation is that I provide the groundwork, we discuss ideas/improvements, I rationalize why I decided to do something that way, suggest what I would do differently or how I would make it more complete in a production context.
Tip for anyone wanting to go through this stage, treat this assignment as a university assignment where you will get deducted points for everything, because that's what it is.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
1st rounds HR questions, a little bit about tech stacks to try to find out whether it aligns. Screening HR interviewer very knowledgable though, very well prepared and to the point.
2nd round hiring manager, how would you handle situation XYZ. Did you have failures, how you handle feedback, etc. More attitude oriented, want to see how you learn etc.
3rd was coding assignment for which negative feedback contained points like:
- unused classes in structure (which I left there on purpose; I'm not shipping production code)
