Fragen in Vorstellungsgesprächen bei F-Secure

Bewerbung

Ich habe mich auf Empfehlung eines Mitarbeiters beworben. Der Vorgang dauerte mehr als 2 Monate. Vorstellungsgespräch absolviert bei F-Secure (Helsinki, Südfinnland (Finnland)).

Vorstellungsgespräch

My application process to F-secure consisted of 3 rounds and I was always informed about the development of the process.

During the first interview I met with a few members of my future team and it was both technical and nontechnical.

Second round was doing a homework about implementing an application in one weeks time.

I got detailed feedback about the homework I did.

Last meeting was HR meeting and we agreed about the contract.

Four staged: Phone interview, homework assignment, practical interview (+ meet the team) and finally an HR interview.

Even though the interview process consisted of multiple stages, I was never left in the dark but the progress was transparent and swift.

Totally anonymous... I think it was the most de-humanized "interview" process I have ever experienced.
After the initial sending of my CV and letter, I was asked (by email) to complete 4 video questions, but given no context or indication of main focus apart from what I could understand from the job description and their public website. Despite the questions being pretty general, my video answers were clearly off as they indicated (again by email) that they did not want to follow up my application. I got no response for my request for some feedback to understand what did not fit.

I have a strongly positive impression after the interview process.
During the first call on Skype I felt quite comfortable even though I couldn't give complete answers to most of the technical questions.
Recruiting Manager and tech lead were quite open and easy-going, so I had a positive mood in the end.
There was some misleading requirement in the homework to monitor the creation and exiting of the processes, but soon I figured out that it is almost impossible to achieve, so decided to mimic the behavior of the native Activity Monitor application to refresh the list of processes on timer.
My onsite interview process was pretty well organized with all the stages logically flowing from one to another.
I liked the way the team lead thinks and communicates about the software design decisions, and can say for sure that I would like to work in one team with him.
The interview with HR person was a little more difficult as there was a lot of questions and they were quite densely packed in time. Some of them not so easy to answer as usually people do not think of them at an average day. But still it was quite comfortable and close to the usual talk, much better than usual HR interviews.
The last chat with recruiting Manager was a pleasure, I felt a bit tired by that time, but really enjoyed it. The general impression about him is that he is relaxed, open and kind. Also, he is strongly concerned about the way people feel working in his team. That is a great thing for a manager. I’m surely for working with him.
The onsite exercise is a good decision. I believe it can show more about the skills of the candidate than a list of technical questions. But I realised the shortage of time for the task, seems like one more hour for it could make me much closer to the desired result. The task itself was very interesting, I felt enthusiastic to finish it at home.
The day in general was very active, interesting and full of emotions.

It is up to team.
Team manager, member will have the important decision factor.
There might be some coding related question or homework. People are quite kind, honest and frank. You can ask questions easily.

Fairly quick process even though it was 4-part interview.
1. Screening interview with future boss. 1h
2. Pretty simple homework task. 1-2h
3. HR interview. 1h
4. Meeting the team and a bit more technical interview. 1h

Overall I got the impression that it’s not a huge corporation but fairly flat management structure. Between the interviews I was always informed about the process and what to expect and the schedule was very flexible.
