Job interviews are not a test.
Initial interviews certainly help companies to determine if you are a qualified candidate, but they serve a dual purpose.
Interviews in the tech industry are a time for you to assess whether or not the company culture aligns with your values and professional goals. As much as the company is interviewing you, you are also interviewing the company.
Are you asking the right questions?
Autodesk’s Data Science Software Developer, Fatem Saremi, wants to chat about the importance of a culture match between you, the candidate, and a potential employer.
Since job interviews for tech jobs have multiple stages- online coding assessment, behavioral interview, and some final rounds of technical interviews- Fatem thinks interviews are an excellent time to learn about tech companies’ work culture.
Preparing to find the correct information will help you face the dreaded interview process easily. Fatem will dive deeper into the two-part technical interview process, and how to best prepare for each so you can leave your worries behind.
Join us to learn:
- How tech interviews are generally structured
- Tips for navigating technical interviews
- How to assess company compatibility
