I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Finmatics GmbH (Košice)
Interview
- HR interview stage.
- Theoretical / light system design stage — questions about databases, patterns, moving from a monolith to microservices, testing approaches.
- Coding interview — they provide a short description of what to expect so you can prepare in advance. During the interview, they will give you the full task and expect you to implement it. Afterwards, they’ll ask follow-up questions about scaling, testing, etc.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
What is the difference between a relational database and a NoSQL database? When should you choose each one?
