I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Alfresco Software (London, England) in May 2020
Interview
Internal recruiter called quickly, but questions were quite vague. When asked about about some basic company information he could not answer. After a week they turned down me without any feedback how I can improve. The company should be more transparent with selection process so candidates are aware what they are looking for.
