I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Backbase (Amsterdam) in Jul 2021
Interview
The recruitment process was built in 4 steps :
1- HR interview
2- Offline Scrum questionnaire
3- One on One Interview with a Senior Scrum Master
4- Case study presentation
5- Culture fit interview with few team members
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1- HR interview
Classic HR interview to express your motivations , your role and what are you looking for by joining BB and presentation of the company values and future steps
2- Offline questionnaire with 2 use cases to answer (out of 3) about real Scrum teams situation and how to deal with them
3- Questions about real day to day situations and how you deal with them as a Scrum Master (also going deeper in the previous offline questionnaire)
4- Choose 2 out of 3 use case of team issues and prepare a presentation on how you will deal with them , then live presentation with Q&A
5- Interview with some of the team members to measure the culture fit and your added value to the team
Recruiter ,Hiring manager, Case Study, panel review of case study. The usual questions. Think about how you support a team that is struggling to see the value of the work they do and have not been able to deliver.
Great. Interviews were scheduled as per the discussion. The panel and HR team are the best.
Onboarding is virtual and is seamless. Great experience. I am going to join Backbase soon and I highly recomment friends and colleagues to choose Backbase to experiene exponential growth in the career.
The interview process consisted of several steps/interviews but it went pretty smoothly. There was a mix of standard interviews and case studies/presentations. It was demanding but I enjoyed it, as I could present my skills and experience from different perspectives.
