Experience:

The interview process for a New Grad Software Developer position at IMC Amsterdam involved a HackerRank assessment, followed by a one-way video interview (which included both behavioral and technical questions). The final stage was a Zoom interview with two engineers. This round was described as purely focusing on algorithmic and data structure questions. Specific questions recalled by the candidate included: "Can you give a real-life example of recursion?" followed by discussions on explaining recursion, its potential problems, and ways to improve it. Another question involved linked lists and their complexity. The candidate ultimately failed this round, feeling they were not adequately prepared.
