Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Octopus Energy nel mese di nov 2023
Colloquio
The interview process includes four stages.
A quick 15 chat with the company's recruiter.
A 45 minute chat with two team leaders in the company.
A challenging medium to hard tech test.
A 60 minute chat with a senior engineer and a team leader reviewing the tech test and some challenging questions.
A final chat to make sure you are a proper cultural fit for the company and you have expected communication and soft skills required in your role.
I would say their interview process in challenging. I know I have repeated the word challenging many times, but this is the best word to describe the process.
It shows the company is looking for the one precent best developers meeting their needs.
