Belgrade, Central SerbiaPosted May 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

The process began with a brief HR conversation, roughly 15–30 minutes, where the recruiter explained the overall structure and mentioned there were four interviews total, including that first screen.

After that, the technical part felt tightly scheduled and fast-moving.

I ended up with two back-to-back one-hour interviews. The first was system-design oriented coding, and the second leaned more algorithm coding. Each coding segment gave me about 40 minutes, and they’d follow up with additional questions after I got through the implementation. Overall it felt difficult, mostly because the bar was high and the time pressure was real.
