The interview was held in three stages - communication with the HR specialist, a technical interview with the technical lead of Android development and mobile development and communication with the team. I was pleasantly surprised by the approach to conducting the interview - both the technical part and Soft Skills. In the technical part, they did not ask from the very basics, technical leads did not need to question the candidate on the very basics of object-oriented programming and language to assess his level of knowledge. They asked questions that really show the experience and knowledge of the candidate. Also in the technical section assessed not only knowledge in the field of Android development, but also erudition in general regarding computer science and the web. There was also a fairly voluminous part concerning Soft Skills. It is important for the company to understand what kind of candidate they are taking into the team - how a person behaves in a team, whether he knows how to get out of conflict situations, whether he is inclined to create them. So, in the process of communicating with the HR specialist, it was clear to me what kind of person the company is looking for and what they expect from him.

The interview process consisted of three stages. In the first stage, I had a conversation with an HR representative. We discussed my previous work experience, my expectations for the new role, and they provided information about the company, its values, and the product they are working on. The conversation was pleasant, and I immediately sensed a positive atmosphere within the company. The second stage involved an interview with the leader of the mobile development team. This stage lasted about an hour and focused on technical questions related to Android development, as well as some general computer science topics. If I didn’t know the answers or got a bit confused, the interviewer guided me towards the correct answers and was very supportive throughout. In the final stage, I met with the Head of HR and the leaders of the mobile and Android teams. The interview was relaxed and covered both software skills and technical knowledge. There were many interesting questions, ranging from general technical ones like "How does the Internet work?" or "What is a cache?" to situational questions such as "How would you handle a specific problem if you encountered it?" I enjoyed this final stage the most.
