The interview process typically begins with an unexpected phone call, designed to test your communication skills. During this call, you’ll be asked common questions like “Tell me about yourself” and “What projects have you worked on?” If you perform well, you’ll be invited to take a technical test and meet with the technical lead.
One downside of this process is the lack of follow-up. If you’re not selected, you often won’t hear back unless you take the initiative to reach out via email or LinkedIn, which is unprofessional on their part. Additionally, if you panic during the initial call—which can happen, especially if it catches you off guard—your chances of moving forward significantly decrease.
My advice: Always be prepared. Even if the call is unexpected, having a clear and structured way to present yourself and your work can make a big difference.
