1st Round Interview
Due to the distance I had it via Skype. Lasted about 50 minutes. The nicest interview I've had so far. Interviewer was very helpful, polite. Many questions about my CV, competency based questions (teamwork, problem solving, idea generating revenue, motivation). A few technical questions, nothing tricky (what is OOP, difference from procedural programming, development cycle). I was asked about my final-year project. And of course about my Detica knowledge.
Interview went really well and a day later I received a phone call saying I progressed to the 2nd round.
GTI recruitment agency that Detica is outsourcing recruitment to - very friendly people, constantly in touch with me, ready to help.
2nd Round Interview
Conducted in London office. Relaxed atmosphere, both interviewers quite young, very polite. Started with some questions about my CV, then moved to the presentation. They seemed very interested in my presentation, asked lots of questions throughout the presentation, tried to see flaws in the solution. It lasted about 30 minutes. Then I was given a case study, linked to the team I applied to. The problem did not involve any technical knowledge, just logical thinking. After that we moved to more technical bit - I had to solve a programming puzzle. Very similar to the ones asked by Microsoft a few years back.
