Colloquio
Interview consists of 4 steps. All the people I've met during the process were friendly and helpful. There might be some differences in your case but here how it goes. First step is a short chat with the recruiter about your background and expectations that lasts about 15 minutes. Second step is an extension of the first. For about an hour, you will be asked more in-depth questions about your past experiences with follow-ups. Additional to the recruiter, a development manager will be present in the meeting. I advise you to think about your stories beforehand and be honest. Third step is the techincal case-study. You will be given a project with requirements and a deadline. I advise you to aim for a clean code and utilize SOLID principles, architectural and design patterns. Last step is the code review. Subject of the review will be the project you've submitted in third step. This is your chance to get to know some of your potential team members. Don't get lost in your thought process. Just calmly justify your decisions, brainstorm with the developers, respect the feedback and communicate clearly. The recruiter will set up another meeting to let you know about the outcome of the interview (in my case there was a feedback which is cool). Good luck!

Colloquio
Je solliciteert eerst online met je CV en een enthousiaste motivatie via de werken-bij website van Coolblue.
Daarna volgen er één of twee gespreksrondes met een recruiter en je toekomstige team, waarbij je vaak ook een praktijkgerichte case oplost.
Het proces wordt afgesloten met een «cultuurklik» om te kijken of je echt bij de bedrijfscultuur past, gevolgd door een officieel aanbod.

Colloquio
I got a response less than a week after applying online. The whole process took about 2 weeks. First was an introductory call with the recruiter. Professional and definitely knows his stuff. Didn't beat around the bush, which I really liked a lot. The second was an interview with the manager and this was more a cultural and soft skills interview. The third was a take home assessment afterwhich was a code review interview with senior developers who really know their stuff. They cared very much about code quality and ensuring you understand what it is you're doing exactly. Finally was a call with the recruiter informing of the decision. All in all, based on availability, the process was very quick, challenging, and thorough

Soft skills questions were centered around work culture and work ethic. There is a huge focus on ensuring a fun and friendly work environment.
Tech interview was centered around code quality and knowledge depth e.g. the decision for going a certain approach so make sure to think long and hard about it
