I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Backbase (Amsterdam) in Oct 2022
Interview
Mainly 4 phases, 1. HR interview 2. Take home assignment 3. Interview with the team (Principal QAs) 4. Final interview with EM (Cultural fit) I went up to final interview with good feedback, and even did the final interview well. Then I got a rejection mail, when I had the chat with the recruiter, she said I have done well in the interview rounds with good feedback but they have decided not to offer the position to anyone that requires relocation support at this moment. This was a very bad experience and a waste of my time. They should have decided whether they can do relocation before they proceed with the interviews and waste so much time of the candidates. The assignment had a big scope (test cases, test plan, bug report, UI automation, API automation, CI/CD, etc) and took me 4 days. I am sure they didn't check those tasks properly even.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Went through some code in the automation framework. Working with the team Best work you're proud of
The recruiter contacted me in a month after applying, after scheduling an interview she didn't show up. Contacted me later again blaming ATS system for not scheduling the interview properly. Sent me afterwards a huge home assignment which did not correlate with the position and potential salary at all. Overall a messy process and bad experience with the company.
