I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Xceptor (Pretoria, Gauteng) in Jan 2026
Interview
The interview process was longer than i was used to. Started off with a screening meeting with talent acquisition which was very good, they kept me constantly updated with the process throughout. After the screening was the technical assignment completed online, it featured multiple choice questions, an SQL question and a programming question. After I went to a live Technical interview which also featured the same type of questions alongside an additional logical question and an optional mathematics question. Immediately after the technical interview was the general 1:1 interview to probe further into my expertise and cultural fit with the company. After that process then was the final interview which was to ensure my fit with the role
