Skuld interview questions

informal, friendly. Put at ease and welcomed right away. More of a chat than interview. lovely company. Good values and culture. Very nice office. 1st interview one person and 2nd interview 2 people.

I applied to Skuld Oslo for a position as backend developer in their IT team. First interview in their process was a 'get to know each other talk'. Second interview was a technical one and it was preceded by a personality test and logical thinking test. I completed both tests online and the results were discussed during the interview. I also got asked some technical questions, for example to write a method that will reverse a String. I was asked to talk about my tasks at my current job. Third interview was preceded by a lengthy case study, where I was supposed to learn a technology that is new for me. It was JavaScript Vue. I was to present my work process. At the end of this interview I got asked how many children I have. I have answered this openly as the company seemed very open towards employees with children. They even have anti-discrimination statements in their manifests. Further process was supposed to be only formalities by HR. Next step was HR asking me for references, they required two references. One from a team lead and one from work colleague. I had no team lead references from previous jobs, so I got asked to provide one from my current place of employment. It seemed like the last step of the process, so I provided them the details. In the end I was asked for 3 references and got a comment that all of them were good or very good. As a next step I was asked to have a videochat with their COO. This was supposed to be a ‘he would like to meet you too’ kind of interview. During that interview I was asked: - If I have children - How many - What does my partner do - How do we share responsibilities for our children between us. For example when they get sick - How do we cope without help from grandparents - If I am overtired or if I get overwhelmed, by my personal life - What do I think about overtime in the context of my family life - Would I like to have more children - Were all of my children 'planned' This was not the only topic of the interview, the whole conversation lasted around 1 hour. I also got asked other things, like 'tell me about your weaknesses' etc. The feedback I got was that ‘they are very happy with me, but have decided to not hire anyone for this position’.
