Colloquio
It was fine, I killed it! Im very good at ios so it wasnt a super hard interview. Cool people, very cool people. Definetly would work for them and im not doing this for learning more about the company because glassdoor doesnt let me visualize without doing this. :)
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso CHECK24 nel mese di apr 2024
Colloquio
1 - Short HR call, 2 - Interview with the tech lead, 3 - Offline task for 5 hr. The process took almost a month. After I landed my coding task the next day, the HR sent me an email that the position was already closed. The HR was from another agency and did excellent work, always keeping me updated. Regarding Check 24 - a very long process. My advice - if you get an interview invitation, don't pay too much attention, considering it just another interview in your chamber. Generally, companies spam this position on almost every job website that I used to look for a job. I can imagine the number of applicants was hundreds or even a few thousand (again, the statistics were only from my humble calculation based on the number of applicants on job platforms).
