      Junior Data Developer Interview

      26 Nov 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Coolblue

      Interview

      Applied online, interviews were at the office. Although the first interview went well, the second was a case presentation for which I had to answer various technically challenging questions. With some help, I managed to answer all of the questions and submitted a good presentation. Soon after, I was called with the facts that my technical knowledge was lacking for this specific function. Although that was the case, they were interested in me at another function (Business Analyst). I would be contacted about the further procedure. For 3 months and counting, I have had no communication with the recruiter responsible for the job offering. Although I tried contacting him multiple (i.e. 5+) times via different channeles, I never got a reply. TL;DR: Although the interview process seems OK, they do not handle replies in a proper and just manner. It might me that specific recruiter though.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Coolblue

      Interview

      Overall a great interview process, but the salary offered was very less. Two Skype interview in quick succession. Questions: 1) Basic question about your interest and current work? 2) Why Rotterdam, why cool blue? 3)Some questions regarding the profile you applied for, Hadoop, SAAS. Task: Task related to data mining/Hadoop. Difficult but interesting. Called on-site: 1) Interaction with team, discussing there current work. 2) Small interview 3) Made an offer Environment: Very good, crazy meeting rooms. People working there are knowledgable and nice. Have pool table, tt table, game box,...etc. Salary offered: Too less, so less that I wont be able to meet with my expensive in Rotterdam. Remark: To CoolBlue: If you are planning to offer so less salary please tell the candidate before hand. Candidate: Ask the salary. It might be very less from what you are expecting.

      Hi, We're sorry to hear about your experience. Although we embrace the effort in looking for several options within Coolblue, we agree that follow-up should be clear and should not take 3 months. We were not aware of this and would like to dive into this matter. Could you contact us directly so that we can sort this out? Please contact us at recruitment [at] coolblue.nl Looking forward to hear from you. Best regards, Recruitment team Coolblue
