I applied through other source. I interviewed at Brand New Day in July 2025
Interview
1. Round with an HR
2. Technical round with sr. designer
3. Take home assessment
4. Presentation of the assessment with a designer and hiring manager
The response is time after each round is slightly long around 2 weeks
In de gesprekken zaken beloven in het aanbod andere dingen aangeven. Zoals parkeren en lease auto mogelijkheden. Teveel gericht op willen scoren. Daarom lastig om een neutraal beeld te krijgen van de organisatie. Werken veel van dezelfde types.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Brand New Day (Amsterdam) in Oct 2022
Interview
1. I had a call with a manager, talking about experiences, goals, company values, etc.. 2. Assessment. Create an API. 3. Final interview. In the final technical interview, I was quite surprised! That were not technical questions. Instead of it, they asked, "why did I create a so complex architecture for a simple problem?" I was confused because it was a test to prove and show what I could bring to the company. So I explained the reason I did such a thing and that was it about my assessment. After that more questions like "how did you see yourself in 5 years?", "Three qualities about yourself? ", "what values are you bringing to this company? ". I was quite confused because I kind of had already had this conversation with the manager, and he was okay with my answers. To sum up, my feedback was that I was not a match because, I have worked with new technologies, azure, microservices, functions, events, etc.. and it seems if you want to have a transition developer for a lead position in the future the company doesn't have a place for you at all. It seems the team would like to have a mediocre developer. At least it was what I got as feedback!
