Straightforward interview process. Had an initial call with a hiring manager to showcase my experience. Met with the team I would be working with and answered technical/behavioral questions. Final meeting was with the VP of the specific department I would be assigned to. Throughout the process the recruiter I was working with answered any questions and kept things moving in a timely fashion. Everyone was friendly and made the process comfortable.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Few coding questions + questions based on past experience
I applied online. I interviewed at Renaissance Learning (Houghton-le-Spring, England)
Interview
Only received a coding assignment where I was asked to complete and submit within a week, and must aim to finish it under 1 hour and half an hour. I made sure that requirement is satisfied. The specification document stated that the coding take-home task/project main aim is to assess as much as skills a candidate have as possible.
Everything I made was reasonable and requirements were satisfied.
However, all what I have received from the recruiter was just that they expected something beyond of what I have submitted and did not met the expectations, without a personalised feedback, which made the interview experience to be negative.
