I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Backbase
Interview
The interview process was adapted very well to a COVID world where all interactions needed to be remote. Good use was made of the tooling and the series of interviews was very logical. There was an initial 30 minute technical interview with an SME in a similar job role to the one being applied for. This was followed by an interview with a Director to understand the wider skill set and team fit. The third and final session was a presentation on a project with a panel assessing the content and delivery, and acting as the client.
