I applied online. I interviewed at BBD (Johannesburg) in Mar 2022
Interview
I applied online. A few days later I was invited to take their Software Developer Technical challenge. The challenge was hosted on a platform called HackerEarth and was given 8 data structures and algorithms challenges to solve in 1h30 minutes, half of the problems involved fixing bugs and the other half were filling in the method. I was unsuccessful in the coding challenge, hence no interview for me . I recommend practicing data structures and algorithms on platforms such as hackerearth, and know how to apply them in and out as their hiring standard is high.
Online quiz, followed by a call to get to know you on teams, and questions about how you solved questions in the quiz and talking about other work you may have done.

The interview was quick and how logical your response is. the take-home test was a large amount of work in a short period of time and I felt it to be unreasonable
