The first interview for a Data engineer role was a live python coding interview experience with a Data Scientist and Product Owner with an expectation for you to solve the question within 90 mins in codility environment.

The manager is not prepared for this type of interview. Unlike other companies, where the interviewer is there to help you and extract as much knowledge as possible from the candidate, at Volvo they try to play pranks. The recruitment process is not clear, there is no information about the steps; Volvo has no respect for candidates who waste their time on interviews and just disappear without giving feedback.

Applied through LinkedIn, codility coding test which tests problem solving skills and distributed systems concepts followed by an interview with the team. This was followed by psychometric tests which checks for personality, numerical ability and logical ability.
