Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Apart from the business code itself, what other artifact can you use to understand the intended behavior of your business code?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at DWS (Melbourne)
Interview
3 stage interview: HR screening, Technical Interview and a Test. The first two stages are easy with questions about culture and the technology you've applied for - my case was Java. The Test is interesting as they give you about 4 hours to complete an algorithm based test that must be written by hand.
The test itself will assess your ability to stay focused on a task for a period of time. It's a bit tough and you can leave the interview with a headache. Personally I don't think it distinguishes good from bad candidates.
