I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Guardtime
Interview
As usually, screening, technical interview and assignment, if requires. Solve a test assignment if portfolio doesn't contain examples to determine experience level of employee candidate. Usually, test assignment is related to entities in employer field.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Guardtime (Tallinn) in Feb 2021
Interview
There were two interviews one with a recruiter and second with the people from team. Test exercise was to automate some API calls and add a huge amount of description and tutorial to the automation you did. It had to be really thorough.
Considering time i put into the this it is really disappointing to not get feedback at all.
Not even a rejection letter.

Question 1
Previous experience, they didn't have technical interview.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Guardtime (Tartu) in Dec 2019
Interview
The first interview was a 90 minute free flowing discussion with the hiring manager in which we got to know each other. I was not asked a single specific question. For the second interview, I was asked to present a go-to-market strategy to a panel.
Even thought they were in possession of my salary expectation, they waited to verify my references before making an offer that was considerably below my expectation. They could have saved a lot of time by reorganising their process.
