I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at scandiweb (Sarajevo) in Jun 2024
Interview
The interview starts easy but becomes quite stressful because if you make a single mistake, you’re almost guaranteed not to pass to the next stage. The questions themselves are fair and beginner-level, but since it’s an entry position, they should be more understanding that people can make small mistakes, especially with interview pressure. Overall, it’s a good process, but it could be more empathetic toward junior applicants.

Question 1
They asked me to explain the main OOP principles (encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction) and how I’ve used them in my projects.

Interview
I applied to scandiweb and my interview was on 12/3/2024 .Overall, it was well-organized and fair.
1. Test Task
The first step was a test task to build a small e-commerce website. They provided a generous two-month deadline, but it was implied that finishing it within one month would be preferable. This allows candidates to demonstrate their time management and technical skills.
After submission, the team evaluates your work. If there are any issues or mistakes, they give you a chance to correct and resubmit. This reflects their supportive approach toward candidates.
2. Interview Stages
After passing the test task, the interview was divided into two parts:
HR Interview:
The HR interview focused on general questions to understand the candidate's background, motivations, and fit for the company. For example, they asked questions like, “Where are you from?” and “What made you apply to the company?”.
Technical Interview:
Conducted by a developer, this stage involved basic technical questions suitable for junior-level candidates. Topics included PHP, object-oriented programming (OOP), SQL, and JavaScript. The questions were straightforward, assessing foundational knowledge.
3. Overall Impression
The process is structured to support candidates and ensure a thorough evaluation of both technical and personal fit. The opportunity to correct the test task demonstrates their emphasis on growth and learning, which I found very encouraging.
