The interview consists of 3 parts: 1) Part 1 takes around 2 hours. It is an online written questionnaire focused on testing, Windows and Linux administration as well as mathematical and logical thinking skills. You will have 1 hour to complete the questionnaire. Then, you are connected with the team leader, and we together go through the questionnaire in detail. 2) Part 2. After this if your knowledge about Windows administration is not enough, they propose you to prepare for the below topics for 1-2 weeks: - Network settings (IP, mask, default gateway, DNS). Why each of them is needed, when and for what it is used. - DNS: purpose, principle of operation, types of zones, various types of records and their purpose. - DHCP: purpose, principle of operation, what settings it can distribute to clients, address reservation. - What can be done from the client machine when interacting with DNS and DHCP. - NTFS file system: main differences from FAT32, features (fault tolerance, compression, encryption, journaling, security, etc.). Try not only learning the definition, but to understand how it works and what it is used for. After the preparation, you have the technical interview for around 1 hour where you discuss these topics and different scenarios. 3) Part 3. The final interview is the longest one. It takes around 2,5 hours. It is similar to the first one; however, deeper. During this interview your out of box thinking is checked as well.

It was a four step interview process. The first step was a technical take home task for initial screening. I was asked to estimate the number of mechanical scales in the Czech Republic and to describe tests I would run on an electric scooter before it would be released for use. After the technical task I was invited to the second stage, which had two parts. The first part was an online questionnaire with the HR representative. It included questions about networking, logic puzzles, general Windows/Linux knowledge, and a section where I had to describe a comprehensive testing process for a household scale. The second part of that stage was a discussion with a team lead. Mainly focusing on the household scale testing task and turned into an engaging back and forth conversation about my approach and reasoning. After that, I was invited to a 30 minute technical preparedness interview, This focused exclusively on networking topics like DHCP, DNS, subnet masks, DNS records and other related concepts. The final step was a two hour interview with three team leads consisting of three parts. One team lead focused on logic puzzles, another on networking, and another on QA. The team leads and the HR representative were very nice throughout the entire process. I got the impression that the company is friendly and welcoming. Overall, although a four step process was naturally anxiety inducing, the interviews themselves were very enjoyable and well structured.
