The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Insurwave (London, England)
Interview
1/ Technical test
2/ Culture
3/ Technical review
Technical test was to create simple api and automate infrastructure deployment with the app working end-to-end. Technologies: Python, Terraform, Ansible, Helm, and Kubernetes.
After submitting the solution there will either be a culture interview, then technical review interview, whichever way round. Technical review is 1.5 hours with CTO and Lead.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How did I approach this? Why did I approach it this way? Each step of the test they will ask how you can improve, or what you could've done with more time. You will make various changes to your solution and if it breaks, they want to see your troubleshooting process (Google, talk through, etc..)
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Insurwave in Feb 2025
Interview
Worst company. They gave a project to complete in a week, I worked dedicatedly and submitted full working solution. But they didn't even bother to look at it forget about response. SUCH A SCUMBAG company run by pathetic hiring managers.
I'm so sorry to here this was your experience. This is not what we would expect to happen, I'd appreciate if you could contact me directly with more details so I can complete a full investigation.
I sincerely apologise for this poor experience and I look forward to hearing form you.
