Colloquio
.NET Developer - Zurich
The interview process was the worst experience I've ever had with two interviewers who asked me (bombarded) with a lot of questions.
After I've been waiting them 10 minute (no punctuality from their side) I first started introduce myself and talk about my experience as a developer/ project involved / skills. Then we started then technical interview without any details about them , without any details about the project or technologies used. It was a little unusual for myself but I agreed to start the interview.

When I started, one interviewer first asked me the questions from SQL Server and then the other interviewer asked .NET C# questions.
SQL Server questions:
- What is the difference between a function and a Stored procedure?
- Difference between HAVING and WHERE condition?
- Can be unique key null?
C# .NET questions:
- What is an assembly?
- What is an EXE ?
- What is LINQ?
- What is IQueryble ?
- Difference between IQueryble and IEnumerable?
ASP.NET MVC
- describe MVC pattern .
Another bad experience I did not get any feedback after I answered their questions and or for an unknown question they did not try to say the correct answer or explain to me. They kept asking me (probably reading from a piece of paper or a document) other questions. Indeed , where is the professionalism here? It certainly did not exist or I did not see it from them.
Overall I had a bad experience and wasted my time with them.
There are probably other people with a higher level of professionalism in this company and next time I hope to meet them to have a better interview experience.
First round was online assessment(general communication and other stuff) and second round was also an online assessment which was related to the tech stack(role applied for) then if we get selected there was an HR round.

The interview process was smooth and well organized. It started with an aptitude and technical test, followed by a technical interview where they asked questions on Java basics, OOP concepts, and SQL. The final round was an HR discussion focusing on my background, role expectations, and availability. Overall, the experience was professional and positive.

There were 2 panelists present and both of them took turn in asking questions. The first panelist was asking easier questions and was more friendly but the second panelist was more strict and demanding towards the end of the interview
