I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at 2GIS (Novosibirsk) in Apr 2016
Interview
I was interviewed by CTO, Recruiter and a Lead Tester. Prevoisly I had a 15 minute phone call with the recruiter that actually participated in the interview. I was asked about my expectations of work, my further career goals. I also thoroughly described my previous experience, what I ws responsible for and what I have achieved. There were no technical questions, and only a couple of testing questions that verified how I am good at factoring out the risks and time efficiency. Gladly, there were no questions about definitions and basics, because it seems like a joke when companies see a good candidate for senior\middle positions.

Question 1
Is there something that can make you stand up and go away right now if you hear about our team? What are your strong 'DONT's?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at 2GIS (Novosibirsk) in Mar 2021
Interview
Had a couple interactions with them over the years, and they've been sending *the same* test task, doesn't matter if you're applying on junior/senior position, which is ridiculous. Beside the task, communication with their HR team always makes me somewhat frustrated - they are way too entitled for their own good. In the end they said 'no' to all my attempts to apply to a position where I was a good fit (skill-based), and instead scheduled an interview only to ask me about my managing skills and QA Lead experience, which I don't have. It's safe to say we all ended up disappointed.
