I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Reaktor (Helsinki, Southern Finland) in Jan 2021
Interview
There were three stages: general motivation, a more extended tech interview, and a more general and slightly technical one. They were among the best interviews I've attended.
The tech interview pushed me to the limits, and the people interviewing were highly senior.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What difficult situation have you faced in your team, and how did you handle that?
Exceptionally-excessively culture oriented process, why/good or bad? Idk.
screening: 1.5hrs culture fit: tech : designer(? what, yea)
I would give plus if they at least provided some sort of construcitve critism after overly engineered 1.5 hrs long culture fit call, so that I would not feel like I wasted my time.
"We have so many applicants bc of current market, so let's waste their time because we are entitled and feel spoiled.".
They pay way less btw, I got +60k secured more than their upper range. I wanted to give them a chance because of these "culture" reviews, no way it is turned into reality for me.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Reaktor (Helsinki, Southern Finland) in Sept 2022
Interview
Over 3 hour long interview with homework that had to be done beforehand. With pretty random and unclear assignments during the interview. Interviewers were out on a break and leave you to just do some weird tasks.
Not worth it.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Reaktor
Interview
We had a regular HR interview first and then a more intensive one related to cultural fit, I was rejected at this point but the next one would've been a technical interview.

Question 1
I think one of the most important things for the cultural fit interview is to read the job posting thoroughly and make sure you answer all of their requirements they really want someone that fits on what they are looking for in the soft-skills side of things.
