I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at bp (Budapest) in Mar 2024
Interview
The interview process is not good at all.
For this position they had
1. initial HR talk
2. 5 minute "technical" where you had a datetime related issue (the email did not state that this is a technical round)
3. An introduction and a technical interview
4. Another technical interview but with coding
5. HR personality test
My issues:
- Way too lengthy process, between rounds we had 2 week gaps, so by the 4th round I was already at the 2 month mark
- e-mails about the interviews dont describe what you should expect, the 2nd interview's description did the opposite because you would expect more like a quick intro about you.
- No feedback at all. After 4 rounds I expect at least an email that say hey we did not choose you, instead after a month the candidate status just turned red and that was it.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
5 min technical:
You have a date, write a python code that returns next friday
1st technical:
Mostly timeseries related questions, like how to groupby things in for a period of a month, how can we treat days where we dont have sales etc.
2nd interview.
Had a spaceless input string and had to create possible word combinations using all of the characters without changing the character order.
So "thisisagreatexample" input would have the output of:
[["this", "is", "a", "great", "example"]]
