I applied online. I interviewed at Genestack (Cambridge, England)
Interview
Before the technical interview I asked HR if there will be a system design section in this interview. The answer was "no". But after 1 hour of live-coding session the next question was to design a high-load network system.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic questions on Java with live-coding to illustrate my answers with examples (like hashCode function, etc)
Algorithmic question, required to wright the solution live.
Design a network system with load balancer. Draw a scheme of this system live on an interview online board.
Very confusing, asking irrelevant skills questions for the job description, not dressed professionally. In the end she was in a hurry for another meeting, not even listening to my answers.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Genestack (Saint Petersburg, Sankt-Peterburg) in Feb 2018
Interview
Quick, clear and friendly: I had been submitted to the online interview via Skype and then I passed the offline interview in Genestack office. People were very friendly, I had to answer simple questions about my own role.
