I was interviewed for a traineeship program in Andersen. The whole process took multiple stages: an AI interview to test candidate’s English skills, a personality test, an attention test, and an online interview with a person. Two weeks after the interview, I was told that I had "successfully passed the selection process" and that the information about the course would be shared a little bit later. However, the company was forced to postpone the start of the program, so they asked if I could wait. I agreed. A month passed and suddenly I was told that I was not suitable for the position, since there were candidates with better English skills, although I took an IELTS test a few months prior and scored 8.0 So I was pretty confident that was not the case. Not to mention that according to the vacancy description, the required level of English for the traineeship was Intermediate or above. I still can't wrap my head around how "successfully passed the selection process" could mean that I was still under consideration. Seemed like a ghost job cause they were spamming the same vacancy multiple times a week. Very disappointing experience.

The interview process at Andersen consisted of several stages. First, I had a short phone screening with an HR representative, where I was asked about my background, experience, and motivation for applying. After that, I was invited to an online technical interview with a senior developer. During this stage, I was asked both theoretical and practical questions related to my field (for example, coding tasks and problem-solving questions). In the next stage, I had a soft skills interview, where I was assessed on my communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities. Finally, there was a short meeting with the project manager to discuss potential projects and expectations. The whole process took about two weeks, and the communication was clear and professional at every stage.
