MadridPosted Jan 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After applying, I was pulled into a short assessment conducted in English that felt very time-boxed from the start.

The format was three questions total, and for each one I had just one minute to prepare before I had two minutes to answer.

What surprised me was how directly the questions tested my communication as much as my content: I had to be clear and structured even while thinking quickly. It wasn’t an interview in the normal sense—more like a controlled sprint where confidence and clarity under pressure mattered.

Overall it played as difficult, and I didn’t end up getting an offer.
