I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nokia (Kifisiá) in May 2019
Interview
At first they contacted me and arranged a date to take a quick technical test. The test questions were divided into three parts:
1) Programming language (you chose which between a few, I chose C)
2) Linux / Bash Scripting
3) Networking
The test wasn't particularly difficult but it is better to study a bit beforehand.
When I finished the test I sat down with three people from different departments in the company and had a quick talk about my resume and a few basic technical questions. Then they explained what each department did and how they worked.
After that I got a call to schedule another interview, that was more technical than the first. It consisted of some simple questions about C/C++, networking and some more practical exercises. I had to solve two problems by writing a few functions (by hand in c). The last was more complicated than the other with pointers and structs but nothing too difficult.
In both interviews the interviewers were very nice people and the process went pretty well.
The one complaint I got was that they never contacted me to let me know I didn't get the job, which is really not professional, especially from a large company like Nokia.
Good, the first interview is basically on personal experience, no major coding, just minor and just conversation. Need to write on paper to explain answer. The interviewer listen to my story of my experience. Have good communication.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about youself, and ask me about how to do good design
They asked about oops, sql queries and two problems to solve, each were easy to moderate level and it was based on arrays and strings, overall experience was average for me. It was face to face interview.
Just an assessment and a 10 minutes interview with the line manager explaining the possition and hear your questions. Basic assessment with simple programming questions and a small code to implement. From the interview site there was no technical questions. No HR people on the call
