I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FDM Group (Amsterdam) in Mar 2023
Interview
Very long process. took more than a month. got to the last stage but was not selected. No feedback on why I was not selected. The recruiter prepares you very well for all the stages with resources to practice for the test and interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mainly motivation questions about how you identify yourself with these values;
1. driven performer
2. logical resolver
3. opportunity seeker
4. resilient achiever
5. adaptable deliverer
6. relationship builder
asked about account managere and tech interview questions, such as 5y plan, how to solve difficult porblems, how to deal with teammates, how to swap a b variables, how does sql storing works, how to split string in python
Process took such a long time unfortunately. Took a whole year from when I first applied to when I 'got the job' after going through their whole recruitment process. After 3 months of no contact, I was told that they wouldn't have a start date. Unfortunate but doesn't seem organised

About a week after filling it out, I received a call from HR, who briefly introduced the company details and made an appointment for the first online video interview next week.
The email said the interview lasted 25 minutes, but it actually lasted 35 minutes. It was all in English and asked a lot of questions.
