Seven Peaks Software Interview Questions

Very disappointing experience with them. They give a 7 day project to you for which you won't get paid and you won't get accurate feedback from them. So keep that in mind when you risk spending time on their assignment and demand compensation for the example project when you apply.

There you might be facing five steps. Resume scanning, Recreuter call, Technical interview, and they will be given you a project, upon project submission, there's another technical interview, HR interview.

Until the moment of the interview, I did not read the reviews of people who had already passed the interview. But now, after reading the negative Android developer review from April 2022, I completely agree with him. What are the downsides I have experienced? 1) Too big test task for 1 week. For understanding, it was a PDF file with 17 pages of description :) Also, as a bonus, it was proposed to cover the project with tests and make PWA for offline access. And this test task is given to you without any payment for your time. Considering that usually a test task rarely takes 5-7 hours of time, this is the standard for interviews in IT. Here you are offered to work for a week for free) 2) Very formal questions during a technical interview. The basic things that, as already noted in the review from April, it makes sense to ask before the test task if a perfectionist sits in the head of the company and he sees great benefit in seeing an ideal theorist in the workplace rather than a practical developer. As already mentioned in the previous review, either make technical questions, and then a test task, or cancel the technical questions. What are the benefits? 1) Polite HR 2) I can put this project in my portfolio

First, you do a general interview in which the recruiter try to know your aspirations, give you information about the company and you can ask questions. It was very good. After, you will get a take-home project. The project was quite easy and achievable in time. After the project, you have a technical interview. That's where things get weird. I didn't understand the fact of having a technical interview when I carried out a project that you validated. I thought the interview would consist of questions about choices I made on the project but NO. It was a THEORETICAL interview. Like what's difference between X and Y... what's A... how to do Z... I just completed your project and you still doubt my skills or what? What's the point? And this theoretical interview is so important for you, better do it before the project. It will allow the candidate to not waste time by devoting several days to this project if he doesn't pass this interview. I don't understand why in 2022, some companies are still assessing candidates based on their their ability to memorize things. Understand how things work is more important than memorizing definitions. It's not like when working at a company, we are not allowed to make research on Internet to build a project. Sometimes, we can forget the most basic things but it's not make us bad engineers.

TL;DR 1 resume screening + 1 phone call screening + 1 assignment + 1 interview The resume screening takes about 3 weeks. The phone call screening asked about your experience, your past project, and what you include in resume The assignment is asked you to complete a project with quite a detailed requirements. Some of them are to make it scalable, secured, etc. The interview is with the senior engineer and Head of Cloud. I expect it to relate to .NET but all questions and live coding are about basic C#.

The interview was easy. You usually go through 2 short interviews. They asked about very basic questions, like where you live, how you commute, and what your availability is. The interviewer was very friendly and professional. I was not nervous during the process. I was just myself.

After a brief call from HR, they invite you to the office to talk with CEO and CTO. The interview process is very streamline and relaxed. The interview had a good vibe and it took about an hour. The executives seem to be genuinely care for their staffs and sincere. Unfortunately, the company is just trying to explore data science consulting business and there is no stable full-time project to do yet. Otherwise, I believe it would be good company to join. I would really like to join them.
