I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Nokia in Mar 2018
Interview
Everything happened in the same day: written exam, technical interview, behavioral interview. The written exam runs for 2 hours and is fairly easy. Average programmers can finish the exam in 30 minutes or less. The technical interview is just the same with the written exam and you are given 15 minutes to come up with a solution. The behavioral interview contains questions about your experiences with certain scenarios. The evaluation process is very fast that I got a call during the night of the same day saying that I passed all the interview and I was expected to be onsite the next day.
It started with a written coding exam
then one on one interview with one of their senior engineers
after that it was already an interview with the team that you will join
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It's been so long I forgot already but what stuck to me is the question about doing a printing numbers 1-10 without using a loop
Process only took a day and you'll know right on what your status is. Screening exams gets all of the competent coders while the technical interview gets the adept ones (OOP). Then they'll screen for the honest and non-arrogant ones. They will tell you exactly what you are getting yourself into so that you can be aware if this is what you really want. Of all the hiring process I went through, this may not be the toughest but definitely is the most serious and very professionally planned screening. Unfortunately, I didn't get an offer.
