It was easy and smooth. I had four interviews one was with HR and Two technicals within team lead and team and at the end I had interview with related manager.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bestseller (Amsterdam)
Interview
Had a get to know talk with the recruiter. She sent three assignment, 1 technical and 2 behavioral. Completed all of em. Recruiter returned with feedback, I wasn't fast enough for their GA behavioral test. I read about this on Glassdoor before, now pissed about taking the time to go through this process, it was not worth it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Two Codality tests, one was about finding bugs in the code. Both of them was super easy.
Thank you for taking your time to review you interview experience with BESTSELLER, we appreciate your feedback. You mentioned the general intelligence assessment tool in your feedback and we would like to explain why we are using the tool as part of our recruiting process. Especially for job positions that require a colleague to quickly adapt to new processes and skills in their daily work, it is important for us to gain an understanding of our candidates’ strengths and challenges when it comes to approaching and solving problems and acquiring new knowledge in a new position. Among other tools and techniques we are using, a general intelligence assessment tool can help us to make that evaluation in order to ensure that we find the right candidate that will be able to thrive in her/his job. Thank you again for your time and feedback!

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bestseller (Amsterdam) in Sept 2017
Interview
I applied via Recruiter, She was very nice lady, polite, friendly and cooperative. First an interview with recruiter and then was asked to solve Codility Test and after that an Interview with Hiring manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In Codility I has to solve: Sorting data based on Grouping in Java and SQL Group by query.
Hiring manager was very strange they were looking for a replica of their own team rather than a new software developer. I answered all the questions and discussed about the working paradigm.
Since each company has its own culture and working paradigm but he was not getting this point. An excuse I got was that You work with legacy systems and small teams. This is really really strange.
