      Software Engineer Interview

      25 Jul 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Barcelona
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Secaro (Barcelona) in Jun 2023

      Interview

      First Technical interview with two Engineers. The core is Django, and the first interview was web-development based, even if the candidate was a Backend developer, and the second interview had Django questions, even if it was mentioned before that the core skill of the candidate was not Django. Also, was not clear if the questions would be also in the Data Engineering skills, because it was mentioned in previous conversations before the technical interviews. Second interview, again technical. The feedback was positive in the first interview, but the the general feedback was not positive.
