This feedback is not about a job interview, but about programming certification interviews the company organises as part of its Software developer training center. First, you take a somewhat exhaustive but interesting 2-3 hour online technical test consisting of theoretical and practical parts. A supervisor connected by videoconference is quite attentive, polite and even supportive. They ensure you don't cheat but they also handle your relevant questions. In reality, they are essentially the only good part of the certification process. The testing platform itself will be half-broken and you will unintentionally submit faulty code just because their internal code compiler is all but not working. You may as well type in 'Hello, I am on duty today' and the compiler will flag it as correct answer, although it obviously is not correct and you will lose points on trusting the compiler. Shockingly poor standards. Second, you have a short English language video talk with a person described as qualified to evaluate your level in English. The language requirements are super low (to just be able to speak and understand others), but the examiner themselves are super unfriendly and you have an impression of talking to a Gestapo investigator, not a person qualified to motivate your to talk and objectively evaluate you. For this 15-min talk , you will have a 'pleasure' to see the examiner: Be late, but not apoligise, explain or acknowledge it; Not smile a single time and look at you as if they wanted to rob you; Interrupt you right in the middle of your phrases; and Ask tone deaf personal/professional questions. In short, you will have a firm impression they wish not to nurture the conversation, but to ruin it. An unforgettably repulsive experience. Third, you will have to wait for results for an unknown time. They do put out some strange date called 'due date' (one month after you registered), but nobody tells what they mean by it and, in any event, you will receive your results neither before, nor after that cryptic 'due date'. Actually, go figure out for yourself when you will receive them. You may as well ask a fortune teller or Tarort card player to predict it (sarcasm). In conclusion, this was a weird, poorly organised and overall unwelcoming interview process.
