I applied online. I interviewed at Backbase (Cardiff, Wales) in Apr 2017
Interview
I've had three interviews before getting an offer. The process took around 6 weeks.
1st interview - simple screening Skype call with the developer manager where I was asked some general questions about my skills and working experience. He also gave me some general information about the company and the team he works in. He also explained what kind of team members they are looking for - mindset, skills, personality etc. The interview was really relaxed and I felt comfortable from the very start. I've received an assignment at the end of the call.
2nd interview - another call, this time with quality assurance specialist who gave me some insight on the testing situation. The interview was similar to the first one plus more in-depth questions regarding my testing experience. My interviewer was very professional and friendly and I felt comfortable once again.
3rd interview - group/panel interview with 4 people engaged (including QA lead and developer manager from the 1st call) where I was asked more detailed questions regarding my working experience, education, testing techniques, work ethics, personal qualities and much more. My assignment was also reviewed. First two interviews were focusing on my professional skills, during the third I was also asked to tell about myself and got some questions about my personality which allowed me to open up more as a person. It felt professional and polite, I didn't receive any inappropriate questions.
