      Java Developer Interview

      29 Jan 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Picnic

      Interview

      1 - HR screen, 2 - Home Assignment, 3 - Technical Interview The hiring process is highly inconsistent and lacks clear evaluation criteria. I went through their process twice, with a two-year gap in between, and both times experienced a complete lack of standardization in how my technical skills were assessed. The first time, they reviewed my pull request, liked my code, but rejected me in the technical interview because, according to them, I "didn't provide a creative solution." Fast forward two years, I received the exact same challenge. This time, I followed their previous feedback to the letter, implementing every single suggestion they had given me. Despite that, I was rejected at the PR review stage - and they criticized changes that they themselves had asked me to make the first time! So when I did it my way, they had issues with it. When I did it their way, they still had issues with it. This kind of arbitrary evaluation makes the entire process feel like a waste of time.

      Amsterdam

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Picnic (Amsterdam) in Jun 2024

      Interview

      It was multiple processing, phone screening, technical interview, pair programming, and behavioral interview. So the process was not that hard, enjoyable and nice people are there. I failed at the pair programming one.
