I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Devoteam (Amsterdam) in July 2018
Interview
I applied to Devoteam via job search website.
Also immediately a guy from recruitment agency contacted me.
General set of questions as usually. After he assigned interview with HR.
It was online interview. No specific questions - why do you work with us,
what technology stack do you prefer and so on.
After this interview they decided to schedule a new one with 2 team leads. It was really long
negotiations when and where it should take place. Only after two weeks this interview
was finally scheduled.
During this interview guys talked a lot about a company and how you gonna work. Devoteam
is a consultancy company all the time you will work at the client office. Also they mentioned that
they have projects with legacy code and routine job as well. Of course they have nice projects,
but no one can tell you for you that you gonna work with them.
Overall experience was neutral - company is trying to find someone good and sell it as expensive as
possible.Personal development and carrier path are not clear and mystified.
