I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Glovo
Interview
The process went fine. I had a screening interview with the recruiter. She was very friendly and open to answer different questions.
The next interview was a technical screening which went also smooth. The questions were from different areas and had different grade of difficulty, but were not very uncomfortable if you worked in the field.
The third step was a codility test with some problems of different grades of difficulty (easy, medium, medium-difficult). Tip: hackerrank is a good resource.
The last step was a series of interviews with different teams (coding, system architecture, software architecture, soft skills). The difficulty of these interviews was medium. The interviewers were friendly and they did not try to confuse.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Glovo (Barcelona) in Nov 2019
Interview
I haven't had a better interview experience so far and I've done 5-10 interviews with good tech companies.
I sent my application, the next day in the morning I get an email for a screening call. The email was very explanatory, detailing every step of the following interview and the possible next steps.
Interview stages:
- Screening call with the recruiter, generic typical questions and some easy tech ones.
I passed this so I received an email the same day with a detailed explanation of the next stage and a PDF of what to study and what to prepare with.
- Screening tech call, I was asked some tech concepts and tools that I use in line with the PDF that they sent me for the preparation.
Here comes the best part: I passed this so the next day I receive an email for the next stage and DETAILED VERBATIM feedback of the interviewer! That was great cause it showed some weaknesses that I had and what I needed to work with and improve. Next stage was a codility test:
- Codility test:2 problems in 2h. 1st seemed easy and 2nd quite hard at least for me.
Again received an email the next day inviting me to the panel interview.
- Panel interview was 5h long and was a typical panel interview: Behavioral interview, and 3 tech interviews (algorithmic, system design, software architecture design).
Overall seems like a long process but as they say it depends on your availability and lasts 2-3 weeks. That's great, as in my experience the recruiters take long to respond and usually the procedure takes at least 1 month.
Also the HR has done a great job sending detailed information of the next stage of the interview and allowing you to prepare properly.
I have a great feeling :)
Had a short phone call with a recruiter, the person was really nice but also didn't seem to know a lot about the technical side of the company or even exactly what are the requirements for the position (not too uncommon in my experience). After that, they told me they would double-check some of the questions they couldn't answer and just never got back to me although I tried to email the recruiter multiple times.
I find the practice of ghosting candidates is really disrespectful if they don't want to proceed with you at least a short email is expected as a matter of courtesy.
