I applied online. I interviewed at FDM Group (Sydney) in Aug 2023
Interview
The selection process began with a coding test that I found to be quite demanding. Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the subsequent interview round. Reflecting on the experience, I genuinely believe that dedicating more time to coding practice prior to such assessments is vital. Future candidates should ensure they are well-prepared to navigate the complexities of these tests.

Other Software Engineer interview reviews for FDM Group
Screener Call with a recruiter, very basic technical assessment with programming challenges, then a video interview. Quick review of your resume and projects, very straightforward. Recieved a call from the recruiter about a week later saying the team wanted to hire me but couldn't confirm a start date yet, but probably could in the coming weeks.
For the next 6 months I received a call from FDM once per month asking me if I was still interested in the role, and informing me that they could not confirm a start date. While waiting for FDM I applied, interviewed, and received an offer for another company, which I accepted.

I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FDM Group (Toronto, ON)
Interview
OA then HR then a group interview. Not very technical. The OA is easy. The HR call is basiclly just going over your resume, The group interview is like a case study.
The interview was mostly focused on my resume and past projects. They asked a few technical questions about APIs and database basics. I wasn’t able to answer one question properly, but I stayed calm and explained my approach. Overall, it went decent
