I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at everis (Madrid) in Apr 2015
Interview
They got my CV through a university job fair, and called me within a week, inviting me to a "Selection Process" later in the week.
The whole event is ran by psychologists who have no idea of the technical side of the company, so don't expect any questions on that. It's just on big group exercise to see how people behave under pressure and how well can you work with others in a time-constrained project on a subject that you know nothing about (marketing proposal, when we were applying for an IT job).
Also included was a sort of Q&A session about the company that only reinforced the impression that the interviewers didn't know how the day to day work went, and a stone-faced attempt to justify the company's well-known habit of demanding unpaid overtime (if the project is due for a deadline, you have to complete it by working overtime. seriously? could you not, you know, pay overtime according to the law and fire the guys that keep setting unreal deadlines?)
They will also tell you straight up that they are hiring engineers from unrelated lines of work and teaching them to code in C/Java because real IT engineers are "hard to come by (because we don't want to pay them what they as us)". They also explained in detail that if your work team fails you all get blamed for it, so your career advancement is dependant on both a bunch of other people and the company as a whole allocating more money to pay rises
The penultimate part of the interview was a one on one interview with the psychologist which yielded some surreal questions (see below), and the last part is a phone interview with the local manager of the place you're applying to, which, incidentally, is the first interview with any technical questions whatsoever (still very basic, like differences between C++ and Java)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"I see you speak 4 languages... if you got an offer to leave us and work abroad, would you take it?"
"If you were working for us and then got a job offer to return to the field of your engineering degree, would you do it?"
"What would you do if you found one of your team members is slacking at work?"
"If we called your former boss, what do you think would be the worst thing he would have to say about you?"
I applied through university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at everis (Lisbon, Lisbon District) in July 2021
Interview
First, I had an initial interview with HR, to discuss my academic background and the position being offered. I also had a meeting/presentation where, along with other potential hirees, I was introduced to the company, its values, career progression, salary and other important subjects, and where we asked whatever questions we had.
Afterwards, I had an interview with someone from the technical side, but we mostly talked about my background and experience so far.
I was then contacted, for a final chat where they made me an offer
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a challenging problem you encountered in your road so far and what you did to solve it
Three interviews, first with a manager, then with a Director and finally with a partner. The interviews are based on our academic and life experiences, and in our expectations for the professional future.
The HR arranged an interview with me for a junior position, and were supposed to call me 2 times for the interview and never called. I sent several emails and they never answered. Terrible organization
