J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez eDreams ODIGEO en déc. 2023
Entretien
I had an initial interview with HR and then a 90-minute technical interview.
I didn't like the technical part, they send you a large naval battle project, made up of 3 modules, many classes, docker compose to run it locally and postman API.
But you will use very little of the project because they will only ask you to make a class immutable and fix a failing test.
The examiners place a lot of importance in the concept of immutable class (a concept that can be discovered in 3 minutes of online research and has hardly ever happened to anyone to implement in their working life as a developer) completely leaving out the questions relating to the examinee's work past ( libraries, frameworks, sql, methodologies for solving problems).
I also didn't like the correction part of the test, you have to understand a code you've never seen before in a few minutes, understand why it breaks and correct it. I don't consider the ability to do this in a short time and under exam stress to be a good yardstick given that in real working life we can spend hours solving these problems.
