First round only, informative, they asked me to describe my experience so far and why I want to join this company as a software developer. The interview was held online and it was very relaxed in general.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at ALTEN (Roma) in Jan 2021
Interview
Contattato da HR non tecnica su LinkedIn. Su LinkedIn Dicono che il profilo va bene, ma poi ti fanno raccontare tutto per spiegarti poi che tutti li sviluppano e testano nonostante gli spieghi che non interessa il testing.
Tranquilli che vi ricontattano con altri ruoli che non vi interessano dopo il primo no.
Settori : finanza,bancario e assicurativo
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ALTEN (Londres, Inglaterra) in Dec 2020
Interview
I must admit it was the worst interview process I ever experienced. let alone the unprofessionalism of the second stage interviewer. the process in general was quick as they needed to fill in a vacancy then. I had a call from one of they graduate recruiters and then ended up having my first interview via video call which lead to my second interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It seemed to me that I had to know everything about Alten not about the job I shall be doing later on! the interviewer was not trained well enough to handle the interview properly! he was trying to be intimidating and rather difficult, not welcoming nor easy going.
most of the questions were about Alten which was odd and boring! I just had to give them what they really want to hear! the reason behind the questions was requiring giving positive outlines about their company which is obvious when asking pointless questions like that.
so if you are good at talking and selling then you can simply get the job!
