J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez ABN AMRO (Amsterdam) en oct. 2022
Entretien
Process starts with take home assignment. Now this assignment looks very vague in requirement, developing some rest apis with some search functionalities. It can be done in N numbers of ways. You need to spend at least 4-5 days. And they take exactly 4-5 minutes to judge your solution. They came back with shocking reason that you put extra effort in the assignment. I tried to make it production ready as you mentioned and used real db and search engine. But it seems they don’t even understand the latest technologies.However they asked me to change the solution again and considered for other position. This time , they scheduled an interview of 45 minutes. One interviewer joined 5 minutes late and was chewing the gum whole time , looking arrogant and asking stupid questions. So if you want to demotivate yourself and want to waste your time and energy, apply for this company. For me it was a pathetic experience. Worthless

I applied via Linkedin, first round was the HR interview, followed by the interview with the manager for the team.
Both were really nice with very professional people.
After that a take home challenge was shared.
I chose to stop the interview there.
Advies aan het management: Verbeter de sollicitatieprocedure
Het is aan te raden de sollicitatieprocedure, en dan met name de communicatie met kandidaten, serieus onder de loep te nemen en te optimaliseren. Een wachttijd van 2,5 maanden vóór een uitnodiging voor een gesprek is in de huidige arbeidsmarkt simpelweg te lang. Sneller handelen kan helpen om toptalent aan te trekken en te behouden.
