Interview
1. Approached by a Brazilian recruiter for the initial screening.

The process was quite "intense," but the HR team kept me updated at all times and was very attentive. I really enjoyed participating in the process!
Everyone I met during the interviews was very friendly and made the process a much more pleasant and smooth experience.
There wasnât a single week where I was "in the dark." I always knew exactly what the next step would be, and all my questions were answered very promptly.
My rating for this recruitment process is 10.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Optimove (London, England) in Sept 2024
Interview
Applied through LinkedIn. Recruiter reached out for an initial screening call. Standard screening questions.
Take home assessment. Mix of video questions, written questions, and technical questions based on a scenario of working with the Optimove API. Finished off with a reasoning question.
1st round interview with Hiring Manager- competency-based, more focused on cultural fit, application of previous experience.
2nd round presentation and solution demonstration to a panel of four.
Additional 'technical fit' interview with a Senior SE to more fully understand technical background and practical applications.
Recruitment team stayed in really close contact throughout the whole process- thank you Lucy for assisting me with everything, you were genuinely awesome.
Had a very positive experience overall and am very excited to join.
Only bit of feedback would be that the final 'technical fit' interview was unexpected, so it could be worth exploring how this could be more firmly understood throughout the prior interview stages so this stage is not necessary in the future. It did not cause me any problems though and I understand why it happened.

Interview
HR just ghosted me !
After a quite advanced processed : phone interview with the HR, have to do a home assignement of 1h30, then need to prepare a presentation from a day to the other with 1h technical presentation in front of operational
I received... just an automatic email from the HR departement. I tried to contact the HR first to know more about why and how I could improve to get some feedbacks
And then it's just not correct to receive an automatic email and being ghosted after the time invest...
Really bad experience for me, hopefully I could find something else
