I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at FORRS Partners (Berlin) in Jun 2021
Interview
One of the most uncomfortable interviews I had. It was very spontaneous, leaving me hardly any time to prepare. After a brief introduction of everybody I found myself being cross-questioned by two men, asking theoretical queations like in school, first about programming and Python, then about the areas the company consults their clients in. Got no information about the position I was actually applying for.
I didn't feel like who I am or what I have learned was of any interest, it felt more like a stress test and didn't have anything to do with the position I thought I was applying for.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of programming language is Python, object-oriented, functional or...? What function does the slash have in Unix? What is an abstract class? What do you know about algorithms? Would you write a recursive function while we watch via screenshare?
Imagine you would like to help a client change from fossile energy to sustainable energy. Which are the challenges you face?
