It was a very technical interview. Brush up the basics of Computer Science 101 and know about the tech used by Takealot. One question involved me having to look at a piece of code and give input on errors, improvements etc...
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at takealot.com (Cape Town) in Feb 2024
