Application Process & Interviews at Vista Group

A written application was made on Prosple in which I later received an invitation to attend an interview day. The day was a combination of group activities and individual interviews. I had little technical assessments other than explaining past work.

It was first submitting the application then after a while got invitation to an induction day (assessment day). On the day there was first a team activity and three short interview with a product manager, engineering manager, and head of talent acquisition. Finally we had a chance to go around the office and get some coffee : )

Consists of a CV screening, and a half-day audition day where it consists of group activities and interviews with past graduates, HR, and managers.

Interview and assessments were a lot of fun, it almost didn't feel like an interview almost more like a friendly chat and catch-up

Group interview and then 3 individual speed interviews

1. Submit application - CV 2. Initial screening - answering questions via email 3. Audition Day - group activities with other interviewees, one-on-one interviews

Simple application process, followed by an assessment day to assess teamwork and personal aptitude. We built a tower out of marshmallows and kebab sticks ☠️

The interview process was quite unique. After initial CV screening, shorlisted candidates are invited to Vista HQ for a group interview day. On the day, we are assessed on our communicate, teamwork, critical thinking skills via some interesting exercises. By the end of the day, each candidate was interviewed by three employees from different department of Vista.

Apply online, group interview, and then individual interview.

CV check, online code assessment (recommended two hours but unlimited time), in person interview #1 (vibe check), in person interview #2 (technical)

Once I applied for the role, I soon got an email back asking for a copy of my academic transcript. I then got invited to a grad day event, where I met other grads and participated in team-based activities which were used to see how we interacted with each other and how well we worked in a team. After that, I had 3 back-to-back "speed" interviews with various people from Vista.

Build a tower as tall as possible using marshmallow and spaghetti

Why did i choose the company, what's my prior experiences.

Be yourself, Vista is very much based on culture. And making sure you are being yourself when applying is important so they can see who you are and if you would fit in the environment.

Just be yourself.

Understand the company by researching it beforehand as it shows that you care for the company. Also, bring the best and most authentic version of yourself.

Just be yourself :)

be you, be clear and be confident

Be yourself and show everything you've got!

Make it clear that you actually care about things.

Really work on your CV to pass the initial screening. Having internship experiences is both good for your CV and boost in confidence. Start applying internships during your study as soon as possible. You would make a lot of mistakes and fail in the beginning. You need to take every opportunity to learn from the failures and mistakes.

Prepare to speak in front of people.

have good coding basics, be approachable and curious during the interview, learn golang/react
