I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Blue Harvest (Brussels) in Jun 2024
Interview
I've had quite a bad interview experience with this company. After I finished tge coding task (that was quite primitive for a senior role) I had a teams call with 2 interviewers. The first one asked most of the questions, he was QUITE arrogant and disrespectful. The first question on the coding was "what do you think can be improved in it?", then he tried to convince me as a developer with 10 years of experience that my implementation was bad. What was the point of organising the interview if you didn't like my implementation?
The he started to ask dev ops related questions on the technologies that I haven't worked with, as I am a .Net developer and not a dev ops. Then there finally were a couple of questions related to my real experience. After the interview finished I wrote the recruiter that I don't want to continue the hiring process with their company.
To anyone considering joining them I suggest to spare your time and nerves.
