      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Coolblue in Jul 2017

      Interview

      Went through two interviews: the first with HR who gave an overview about the company and details of the position. I had a second technical interview with two DBAs with average questions and a few tricky ones. I really liked the amount of information available and the transparency of the process but since I haven't heard from them, my experience was neutral because of the lack of feedback.

      Hi, Thanks for taking the time to write this review. With your feedback we can learn a bit more every day. I would like to hear more from you regarding this situation. Would you send me an e-mail: lotte.vanvelzen@coolblue.nl? I will come back to you as soon as possible. Your data will be treated confidentially. With kind regards, Lotte - Recruitment Specialist Employer Branding

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Coolblue in Mar 2022

      Interview

      I could describe the whole process in six steps: 1. Once you've sent out an application, an HR recruiter will get in touch with you if you seem fit for the job role. He/she will schedule you for a call. 2. The first call will usually just include your expectations for the job, how much you are expecting to get, what you like about the job description, what you like about the company and your notice period. It's a fairly easy interview that gives the interviewer a quick glimpse of you. Once they are done, they will tell you via email or call that you're up for the next interview in a couple of days. 3. The second interview will usually include the recruiter and a manager. It's a cultural fit interview where they get to know your mindset and thought process with regards to how you work. Once you seem fit with the culture, they will tell you via email or call again and gear you up for the third interview. 4. Before the third interview, the recruiter will give you a technical assignment which you have to complete in three to four days. You will have to submit this to the recruiter and the technical team you will potentially be a part of. 5. Once you've submitted your assignment, the recruiter will set up a technical meeting between you and your potential team mates (it's usually a panel interview). In this meeting, you will present your assignment and answer any technical questions the panel may have. It was challenging but in my experience, all of their questions were relevant to my assignment and background. 6. Once the technical interview is over, you will receive a call from the recruiter whether you got the job or not. If it's positive, then they will proceed with giving you an offer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. How is your day-to-day like? 2. How do you communicate with your manager? 3. What are the potential career paths that you want to see yourself in 5 to 10 years? 4. Are you open to shifting to other positions in the future?
