I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at HERE Technologies (Bengaluru) in Jul 2020
Interview
I got a call from Naurki regarding a Scala Developer job opportunity at their Bangalore Office. I was interested in the proposition and enquired about the interview process. The first round was a coding assignment to be completed over the weekend and submitted. I completed all the questions as the requirements stated and made sure all the tests were passing before submitting. However I got a rejection mail saying my tests were not correct for the "Java problem" and my "github" profile did not have any tests for any projects I had uploaded.
I mean, you are hiring me for a Scala developer role and you reject me based on a Junit test being wrong (and I dont know which one as that was not mentioned) and you check my Github projects for JUnit tests? Really?
I enjoyed solving those Scala problems and I knew damn well that I can clear the round. This rejection was a shocker. I don't know who reviewed this assignment but whoever it is, he/she clearly has no idea on what their hiring grounds are. Pathetic experience to say the least.
At least be honest about your reason of rejection. No sane developer would reject someone the way you guys did.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. To split a String with multiple delimiters and the resultant should also include the delimiters.
2. An Akka design problem
3. A very simple Java sentence generator problem for which only tests need to be written. The program itself is a joke and I wrote additional tests to enhance the functionality as well. And getting rejected because of this is simply ridiculous.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at HERE Technologies (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jul 2019
Interview
Had heard a lot about the process of here maps and now encontered. First impression is last impression and hence found here not worth for a talented ppl.
Below is process:
HR calls and take inputs about experince and salary expectations.
Telephonic call- lasted for 50 mind
2nd round: Intimated panel not available
Same person who interviewed in first round now interviews me for 2nd round.
All looks gud, interviewer says we wl meet soon.
No response from HR
Hr won't take initiative to call or mail feedback.
When I connected hr denied getting any feedback from interviwer.
No rejection no acceptence call mail from HR.
This demonstates how life can be tough in company when u need their help.
A simple mail would have worked. Don't go for interview if u have ur time worthy. If planning 2 join keep in mind above points.

Question 1
discussed the project.
Python GIL.
decorator generator
After clearing the 'system design & coding' round in they called me face to face, the interview asked just one question that too out of my skillset and rejected me. Such a waste of time..
