Ich habe mich online beworben. Der Vorgang dauerte 4 Wochen. Vorstellungsgespräch absolviert im Okt. 2017 bei Metaswitch (London Borough of Enfield, England)
Vorstellungsgespräch
First I submitted CV and cover letter.
Shortly afterI was asked to do an online aptitude test (quite time pressured).
I then got an invitation to interview (all travel expenses covered by Metaswitch). Before coming to the interview, I was asked to fill out an online application form. Questions included, for example, what my 3 greatest strengths/weaknesses were.
The interview started with a brief 30 minute presentation about the company (this wasn’t assessed). Then 3 tests. The first was a 40 minute aptitude test (70 questions, so harder but similar to the online one). Then a 25 minute test followed by a 40 minute test. There wasn’t much time in between them but enough to go to the toilet. Then we had a 25 minute break where we were given some food. Then came the face to face interview. It mostly concerned my answers to the final two tests, though there were some about about my cv and application form.

Frage 1
The second test was about describing an algorithm that could play a game of “flapjack”, and how to improve this algorithm. The third test concerned a map of “Esteros”. Questions included, for example, what the cheapest/fastest route was of getting from one node to another, given certain constraints.
