I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cellulant (Nairobi) in Jun 2024
Interview
There are 3 levels of interviews:
1. Initial pre-screening with the recruiter: This lasted for 1 hour.
2. Actual interview with the hiring manager and HR representatives: This session lasts about 1 hour. They inquire mostly about your experience and give you case studies to assess how you would handle different situations. Your recruiter may also be on the call.
3. Culture fit interview and salary negotiation: You will meet with HR and maybe the hiring manager again to assess your fit and discuss compensation.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cellulant (Nairobi) in Sept 2025
Interview
The first test was an in-office assessment of Linux commands and MySQL. Subsequently, there was a virtual interview with a panel and the hiring manager to evaluate your suitability for the role. The interview went fairly well, but I never received any feedback afterward. Despite multiple attempts to inquire about the results, HR would occasionally hang up on me. No regret email, just ghosted!
