THE PROCESS

Long interview processes are stressful and boring and that is not us

We want to make sure that everything runs smoothly.

So here you will have three stage interviews

• 2- A zoom chat with one of our Java colleagues where they will ask you detailed questions about Java  knowledge and your experience.

3-

A Face to Face interview (either in our office or via Zoom). ​​During this interview, we will dig even deeper, and you will have a technical task to do. You will also have a chat with our local director.

A little tip for you during those stages

Collaboration is massively important to us, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts, ask questions, ask for help if needed, etc :)
