I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at VR (Helsinki, Southern Finland) in Sept 2024
Interview
After having first been being contacted by a 3rd party headhunter, I had a couple of initial interviews via Teams with a senior management representative. The person seemed interested and wanted to take things further by proceeding with F2F interviews. However, this never happened and from there on I was ghosted. Needless to say, I lost any interest in this company.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at VR (Helsinki, Southern Finland)
Interview
The interview was with one HR lady and a technical person who did not even asked me one proper technical question. Given that I have 5 years of experience in this role I assumed they do not see the need to do so. Later they told me they will send me an exam if they decide to move forward. Interestingly a a trainee from my colleague also applied to this role. He passed to the exam, and I received the call that I did not qualify for the exam because of lack of experience. To my view the only reason was gender discrimination.
If you are identified by the technical interviewer as a women it is almost impossible to get an offer.
