Went for a technology workshop cum coding competition to do networking. After all the application questions and online assessments, had a phone interview about a week after. Everything seemed to be going well, considering I had no knowledge of finance at all. During the assessment center, we had 2 individual interviews and 1 group activity. The first interview went considerably well. Asked questions such as what was my motivation, how would I define innovation, what was a good leader. Mostly abstract stuff. The second interview was what caught me off-guard. I was asked rather technical questions. Things like what new updates does the current version of Java offer, what are some of the things you do NOT do in agile. I found that rather strange because I asked my friends who were in the assessment center with me and they were not asked any technical questions at all. The group activity was about looking at a case situation and us offering proposals on what would be a good plan of action. From what I could remember, it was something about them wanting to set up a server in another geographical location, and we needed to propose which location was ideal. Nevertheless, I did not get the offer, which probably suggests there are people out there who were much adept in answering the interview questions or perhaps I did not exhibit myself more during the group interview.

Went through multiple interviews and did receive a response. Managers who did the interview did not know the day to day work of the position. Most of the interview was people skills.
