Inktech (Cyprus) interview questions

I interviewed at Une Forte / First.com, and the experience raised several concerns. The interview took place in a very small room with a large CCTV camera, which felt uncomfortable and overly monitored. The CEO appeared extremely stressed and lacked people skills, and it was difficult not to link this to the poor performance of the business she has built. As I walked through the office, I noticed even more cameras, and the staff looked visibly unhappy. The CEO displayed a totalitarian attitude, creating an environment that felt tense, restrictive, and completely out of line with normal UK workplace culture. I ultimately rejected the role because of the current CEO and the culture she has created. Unless there is a change in leadership, I would not consider joining. I also have no interest in working for a failing, low-growth business.

The interview was conducted by one engineer and one manager. My experience and skills matched the role about 130%, and I confidently answered almost all questions — except for a few theoretical ones like SOLID or KISS, where I simply explained the concepts in my own words rather than quoting definitions “by the book.” The interview lasted around an hour and felt rather easy. From the QA-related questions, it was clear to me that the company’s processes were underdeveloped, and QA knowledge within the team seemed limited. None of my answers were challenged during the interview. A few days later, I received perhaps the most hilarious feedback I’ve ever gotten: “The team saw that you are very experienced and knowledgeable, but they need a strong theorist.” This phrase instantly became a meme among my friends. The story didn’t end there. About six months later, another recruiter reached out to me — for the exact same position. Which means they had been searching for their “strong theorist” for half a year. Either they have significant team issues, or they’re just simulating recruitment to burn through the company’s cash.
