J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Backbase en févr. 2021
Entretien
The engineering team was super nice. The interview process was very well setup and the team made sure it felt more like a discussion.
On the other hand, the recruitment team needs to change their work ethics. They change the job location, salary range, teams, joining date at the time of making an offer, and you are not really left with any choice. This is pretty shocking from a company of that scale.

Even the interview is a nightmare. They require you to do homework, with a full page of description what they expect from you, and they are unable to send the input file at the first place. They do not share the criteria, but after they reject on like typos and even thing which are not valid.
They are focused what you do not know, and not interested at all what you know.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Homework: create an API to rate restaurants, get back the top rated ones, query data from another API.
I found the interviewers somewhat disrespectful. While I was trying to clearly explain the system and the technical background, they seemed distracted—typing and not really listening. Later, they asked questions I had already answered, which made the whole experience feel dismissive.
It wasn’t a great interaction, and frankly, I don’t think I’d be comfortable working with people who approach conversations like that.

Question 1
They don't have any technical knowledge-- that's why they couldn't ask. Actually they have no idea to do it.
