I interviewed around year ago. There was only one round of interview together with hiring manager and recruiter. I was asked standard questions, related to my previous experience and competencies. I received feedback within a few days.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at ING (Ámsterdam) in May 2020
Interview
Very bad experience!
I applied online and was very quickly contacted by recruiter. He sent me the codility test which I passed easily to 100%. Then he redirected me to some person. I waited for a week and then contacted her myself. She even didn't introduce herself nor explained the process. Just sent invite for the first interview.
Apparently it was a technical interview. I passed it and she scheduled another one.
Couple of days before she canceled saying she will reschedule.
1 hour before the next interview she asked if I completed a test assignment. But she never sent it to me and I didn't know about that. So interview was canceled.
Then I got an assignment. But it was for a different position! I asked about that and finally got the correct one. Completed it and she scheduled another interview.
Day before she again rescheduled it without any explanation. Then 10 minutes before she canceled it saying she will reschedule.
I'm not sure what is going on there but this experience was awful.
They don't explain the process.
They don't give time slots options for the interview - just send an invite.
They don't match positions with candidates.
They cancel and reschedule interviews randomly.
In the end I decided not to continue.

Interview
I applied through LinkedIn, had to add the CV . After the application, they selected me to take a test on HackerRank that included some programming questions (you could’ve answered with whatever Programming Language you were familiar with), some logical questions, some that evaluated your Problem Solving skills; the test lasted 120 minutes and it was manageable.
I was selected to take an online interview with the trainers that went a bit odd. First of all, the interview did not focus on my actual skills, the link sent by email didn’t work (they couldn’t hear me) so they had to improvise and move the interview on skype business ( I had to install it of course; wasting precious time doing that).
A lot of questions were focused on my people skills (and my abilities to work in a team, some were focused on what motivated me) but the logical thinking questions were awful; the other trainer showed his desktop with the questions written in a ppt file and you had to come up with the answer. I wasn’t prepared for that so my answers were probably not what they wanted to hear. After not giving them the correct answers they ended the interview and after 5 days I’ve received the refusal via email.
I think they should’ve been harsher in the first phases of the selection. There is no point in giving hope and taking an interview when they had to take about 80 other interviews ( I admit I don’t have actual experience in programming but the name of the course is literally Switch to Programming).
