I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nokia in Nov 2009
Interview
I sent my resume directly to someone I knew at Nokia. She forwarded it to the hiring manager or somehow got it in the system. It took about two weeks to hear anything. Eventually an HR person emailed me to arrange a phone screen. A couple of days later, I had a short phone screen with the hiring manager. He provided me an overview of what they were looking for - which was somewhat different from the job description I saw on the site. A few days later I was contacted by HR to schedule an in-person interview. That would be about another week or so later. I met with four people for 30 minutes each. Before the interview I had to provide information about my background on HireRight.com. Nokia must use them for their background data collection.
The interviewers were all team members and would be my peers in the position. They all gave me an opportunity to learn about the team and the position. They asked a lot of questions, but didn't really get too technical on me. It seemed like they were making sure I was a cultural fit before a technical fit. Everything stayed on schedule.
They told me to expect to hear back from them within a couple of weeks. After about a week I found out that they were going to pass on me.
They asked about oops, sql queries and two problems to solve, each were easy to moderate level and it was based on arrays and strings, overall experience was average for me. It was face to face interview.
Just an assessment and a 10 minutes interview with the line manager explaining the possition and hear your questions. Basic assessment with simple programming questions and a small code to implement. From the interview site there was no technical questions. No HR people on the call
I applied through university. I interviewed at Nokia (Antwerp)
Interview
highly competitive, were looking for one to two people only out of a large unspecified pool. Other than that, the people there were nice for the most part so take it easy.
