Collabora Interview Questions

Two interviews over their secure contact system. One with COO and the second was with someone else that had the same job role. The interviews themselves were nice and relaxed and I enjoyed this process. The negative from my experience came from not having any feedback for almost a month after chasing. It felt like they didn't care and as the second interview seemed to go very well, it was unexpected for the process to stop in this way. Had I received feedback promptly and not been effectively ghosted, the experience would have been positive.

I had 3 interviews: 1 for cultural fit, 1 technical and the last one to negotiate salary. All of them were held like informal conversations, there were no whiteboard or code challenges.

I had two interviews. The first guy was very friendly, the second one remained detached all the time. The biggest surprise was the fact they don't hire people who are not located in the UK and Canada, most of their workforce are contractors.

The initial phase is more about soft skills, if you fit the company culture and values. The second phase is more technical, probably with the Domain Leader, but it is not tricky. The entire process is more about knowing the company and they knowing you, so smooth.

I had a phone interview with the recruiter at the Austin office. After the phone interview, I was moved forward and had an in-person interview the lead Manager at the office. Then, I had a lunch with the same manager and was the executives who was visiting the office.

Two different interviews over google hangouts. The first one was about the open source ecosystem, software licenses, and development community. Also, some questions about previous remote work experience. The second interview was more technical, regarding my qualifications, development experience, programming languages, projects and open-source experience. None of the interviews had tricky questions, nor live coding.

The interview process divided into two parts. First you'll talk to their wonderful HR, and then you'll have one or two technical discussions group managers. I found the process very pleasant and overall very interesting, I think I learned as much about Collabora as they did about me.

I contected them directly through the site, the got back to me after some weeks, proposing a position as Software Engineer with relocation package. The interview happened via phone call, no technical question were asked, only my position on some Open Source aspects and my experience on projects. I hadn't much experience but I was willing to learn if needed, they were happy with that. It was a chat about me and them rather than an interview with the focus of selecting the best candidate. I was known in the field though; not largely but I guess sufficiently known to get straight to the philosophical points, skipping the technical ones.
