Got a home assignment that was quite time consuming and had to complete it in 3 days. My solution was not perfect, but I got an invitation to the technical interview. The questions were moistly easy and average. There was also an easy leetcode problem during the interview. The interviewers were mostly kind and accomodating. After some days I've received an offer.

After the initial phone call, I received a Java - spring assignment project as Backend application for bank loan process that employees can create, list and pay loans for their customers.
I developed it as they described but without extra points and a few test cases.
They gave feedback a brief negative response without any detail, in response to my follow up mail asking the application's status.

Colloquio
Ik had onlangs een sollicitatiegesprek bij ING Bank waarin ik werd geïnterviewd door iemand die zich presenteerde als senior engineer en chapter lead. Tijdens het gesprek kreeg ik onder andere vragen over Kafka en performance tuning. Wat me opviel, was dat één van de interviewers gedurende het hele gesprek zat te grijnzen, wat ik als enigszins ongemakkelijk ervoer.
Daarnaast vond het volledige gesprek in het Engels plaats; niemand sprak Nederlands, ondanks dat het om een functie in Nederland ging. Dat verraste me, aangezien ING van oorsprong een Nederlandse bank is.
Deze ervaring gaf mij de indruk dat er weinig aandacht is voor de lokale context en cultuur, wat ik persoonlijk jammer vind.
Het verzoek om mijn scherm te delen zonder voorafgaande waarschuwing was problematisch vanwege de privacygevoelige informatie die zichtbaar was. Ik adviseer de bank om hun interviewmethodiek beter af te stemmen op de huidige privacywetgeving (AVG) om de professionaliteit te waarborgen
they requested task completion about credit operations.
Then I received a technical interview meeting to discuss the task.
I discussed the task and answered general questions about OOP, Java etc.
