I applied online. I interviewed at Backbase (Amsterdam) in Feb 2021
Interview
Overall, it was a good experience. Every interview step was very precise & clear.
1st interview is a pretty standard hr screening process with common questions about what you do.
2nd interview was for product & agile knowledge with a business analyst and a PO from the team.
3rd interview was a product case presentation about a new feature of an existing system.
The case assignment document was also clearly defined and a fellow business analyst from the team is there to help you if you have any questions.
Hr answers your questions very rapidly throughout the interview process, but expect a little delay after accepting the offer since they have to manage multiple candidates at the same time. Don`t worry and enjoy the process!

The process is professional. Interviewers are nice and kind. they make me comfortable while conducting the interview. The process includes of 4 rounds: firstly, HR manager may spend around 30 mins with you to check your simple ability (like English communication, the way you communicate well or not). HR manager also shared about company mission and vision, position requirements. If you have any question, you can ask HR managers in scope of work and company. Secondly, you get an interview with manager specialized in the role you apply to. For example, your role is Business Analyst, you can have interview with Principal Business Analyst and so on. Third round is a presentation test where you are given a case study then you need to prepare your presentation to share about it. Lately, wait for a magic happen if HR contact you and inform a good news.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Normally they asked about my working experiences and give me a test case to test my knowledge and skills.
Many questions, though situational, did feel like they needed to be answered with text-book answers. Kind of felt like an interrogation more than anything else. Also seemed like the interviewer accepts only their way of doing things as the right answer.
