J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez State Street (Kraków) en août 2024
Entretien
The process was quite long but nice. At first I had phone screening, and after that I was invited to the office, for in-person interview with my future manager, some people from the team and one additional person. It was an recruitment for junior position, so the questions were fairly adjusted to that level. Some basic discrete mathematics, catching bugs in short sample of code, and then I had a talk with one of the engineers about the system architecture.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Q: What's the difference between monolith and modular monolith.
Q: Spot the bug in the code.
Basic introduction
• Discuss your background, projects
• Questions like:
• Why Descript?
• What do you know about our product?
• Salary expectations
👉 Tip: Be ready to talk about audio/video editing, AI tools, or content workflows since Descript is in that space.

Interview process consisted of:
Logical/Puzzle interview -> Phone screening -> take home project -> Interview with managers
The main thing that made this process so unenjoyable was that it took place over 4 months (Early december to early march) which is unacceptable for an interview process.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
You have a flashlight and 8 batteries. There are 2 good batteries and 6 bad batteries. For the flashlight to work it requires 2 good batteries. Assuming you don't know which batteries are which, what is the minimum number of attempts you need to find the two good ones, assuming you get the worst case scenario?

It was very simple and easy interview process the questions were very basic mostly related to basic coding and Software Engineering concepts. you just need to brush up your basics and that would be enough
