Positive experience
Difficult interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Discover (Farnborough, Hampshire, South East England, England) in May 2024
Interview
It was panel interview, consisting of 5 sessions with 5 different people.
3 of them was group managers and 2 of them team leads.
First interview was technical one. After this one I met with 3 different group manager from IT. And the last interview was whiteboard interview.
It's sad I haven't been chosen but still can not say anything bad about the process. I enjoyed the experience from the beginning till the end.
Only thing I can say is; I asked for the rejection reason but couldn't get any feedback for that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical one was the easiest one. Went through concepts of programming.
With managers it was behavioural questions like:
- give a goal you have not reached yet and tell me about your action plans
- tell me about a time you choose a colleague - why you choose that person and what was the outcome
- tell me about a problem you couldn't solve and the actions you took
- there is an sql script which is running slow. What actions you can take to check the cause
- tell me about your framework
- tell me about the last bug you couldn't catch
- you are not coming from the same background with the person you are working with. How would you communicate?
Whiteboard session was about preparing the functional tests for a payment solution. There were 4 different microservices involved.
