I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bitdefender (Bucharest, Bucuresti) in Aug 2024
Interview
One HR phone screening, followed by two rounds of technical interviews.
First interview ~1h:
- Introduction/casual chat
- Questions about projects on the resume
- Two technical questions (DSA in C++ without resources/internet, and problem-solving oriented task in Python with any resource and internet allowed - focused only on completing the task correctly)
Second interview:
- Work simulation on a complex project-like problem with the interviewer for several hours
- Should know DSA, OOP, and Operating Systems concepts in depth

I interviewed at Bitdefender (Bucharest, Bucuresti)
Interview
It took a while after the HR check to schedule a technical interview. The interview consisted of reading some code and finding issues in it. There where some other questions regarding networking protocols. I received the offer very shortly after.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bitdefender (Bucharest, Bucuresti) in Sep 2025
Interview
There were 3 stages:
Technical Screening,
Homework-style stage ( implement a directory sync program according to a given spec )
Live assessment on the above hw
After passing them and getting good feedback, they told me they want me to join the team but they'll reach out in a couple of weeks with an offer due to internal budget issues. Ofc, they reached out after 1 month telling me they chose a different candidate.
To summarize, a lengthy interview that's a waste of time and obviously, didn't serve as an objective evaluation. And a company that seems very "stable" and "trustworthy".
In conclusion, all these cracks make it obvious it's not a great place to work at.
Don't recommend.
