Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela takealot.com (Cape Town) em jul. de 2017
Entrevista
First you get a HackerRank link test. Then if you pass you have a one hour face to face interview. They dont really care if you are smart or not, you should be a bookworm and know theory. No problem solving skills needed.
Perguntas de entrevista [3]
Pergunta 1
Build a romanizer (given an integer from 1 to 1000 you should return the roman number of that value).
For the face to face you should know your theory of software engineering and design. They dont ask you to solve problems. They are mostly Engineers and not computer science graduates so the computer science basics they ask is really easy stuff, like what is a binary tree, what is dynamic vs static typing, what is a hashmap etc. Then they nail you with engineering terminology

Recruiter handles the application.
Took 2 weeks for Takealot to contact me and send a link to the HackerRank assessment. Most of the questions are based on stuff that was covered at university. The questions that they gave me were ridiculous. Some of which I believe they cannot answer themselves. I've been in software developent for 2 years now. The Software Engineering interview process needs to change.

Online Hacker rank test: 2 coding problems, few multiple choices
1.5 hours on site technical interview with seniors:
They were kind of friendly and tried to help you when you stuck. Whiteboard questions were very basic. But they spent lots of time on terminologies, they read the definition from their laptop then asked you to give a name. I think they were looking for someone who just graduated or bookworm.
1 hour on site behavioral interview with engineering directors:
The irony of this interview was that they told me they wanted smart people who has problem solving skills. Clearly those directors didn’t go through the technical interviews when they were hired.
