I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Backbase (Amsterdam) in Nov 2022
Interview
The recruitment team at Backbase is the best, they make you very comfortable during the entire process while also giving out subtle hints on what is expected in the next rounds and how to prepare for those. In total, I had 4 rounds: Round 1 - A discussion with the recruiter where he checked whether I would be a good fit for the company based on my current skills and communication. This was the point where I also asked a lot of questions, to decide whether the company will be good for my career growth. Round 2 - A deep dive discussion with the manager. After Round 2, a case study was sent to me via email, and I could decide on the timeline myself when I would be ready to present it. Round 3 - (This was not a rejection round) This was to clarify any doubts about the Case Study. Round 4 - The case study presentation to a panel. The feedback was surprisingly quick. I did not have to wait long to receive the final offer. Overall a positive experience.
