Interview
i was contacted personally from a recruiter after a click in a online advertisement; i was told to apply with cv and cover letter and that i could fit the profile they were looking for excetera...after some days they send me another email telling me i "should consider an achievement in itself" the fact that after a very deep screening of my resumee, i was not killed by their amazing and impossible recruiting process. Later on, temporized tests were sent, with detailed instructions on how to do them, and submit them. First 2 tests were technical and i felt i performed well. BAD THING is the 3rd was total psychometric crap, soaked with tricks and ambushes, and presented like you should be honest but you don't get what they really want to know about you. They ask you to perform 3 tasks for a total of 5 hour, and then you get a noreply mail in which they tell you to be polite, and not bother them with asking the detailed feedback they won't never provide you. So it's just energy consuming, with no regard of the person. Also the fact they start talking to you personally, and then use a form to dismiss you is very unpleasent and careless. Also, a selection process that dismissed you with a psycometric crap online assesment, making you loose so much time for nothing, is very disappointing.
The interview was far more difficult than I expected. The questions were complex and unexpected, forcing me to think quickly under pressure. I felt nervous, but I stayed focused and answered as honestly as I could, learning a lot from the experience.

Interview
Le prove molto divertenti e stimolanti, recruiter alla mano e disponibile. Tuttavia il boss (neanche finale, c'era ancora un altro step) mi ha completamente uccisa con prove di logica e ragionamento da fare ad alta voce mentre ti guardava e giudicava.
Le comunicazioni di scarto non sono affatto personalizzate, è semplicemente una mail automatica che dice "Altri sono stati meglio di te". Se avessero smarcato la parte di logica da subito non avrei perso altro tempo.

Interview
Everything was communicated pristinely and in line with the tasks I had to do beforehand as a part of application process. It was actually my first job interview ever, and I couldn't have wished for a better one!

Question 1
I was asked a lot of questions, but the one that surprised me the most was "How do you handle boredom?"
