I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Dotmatics (Bishops Stortford, England) in Sep 2018
Interview
One Junior developer and the team leader interviewed me. Both didn't know anything about React or Spring and were asking questions about it. How are they supposed to know if my answers were good if they are not familiar with the technologies? I do not recommend interviewing there.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked about SpringBoot annotations, but they had no ideia of what they were talking about. There was also a take home exercise that was quite good and interesting.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Dotmatics in Apr 2025
Interview
Had the first call with the recruiter, standard chat about my experience and motivation.
The recruiter was really pressing to get things done quickly and when I said I was goyon holiday and that for personal circumstances I really need a break thyw went like: "ok but will you have access to a computer and a connection?".
Big red flag on company culture.
Anyway they messaged me saying the tech team decided to not proceed with my application.
I asked for a feedback and obviously didn't hear anything back.
