J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. J'ai passé un entretien chez Island (Tel Aviv-Yafo) en janv. 2026
Entretien
phone call with hr, then an interview with two managers. They were nice, nothing special about the interaction, I spoke about my experience and specific project I want to go deeper and I went a little deeper. Really interested in data, probably the role was more data oriented, they asked a lot about sql. Also about deployment, what happens in deployment, Then one exercise about dictionary, and how it works internally. Then they asked me to implement one
I found this company through a friend who works there. After a phone call with the recruiter, who was amazing, I was invited to the first technical interview. It was a portal-based interview divided into two parts: the first part was a live coding question, and the second part focused on the architecture of a project I had worked on in the past.
The live code started with finding the right answer, writing it down on paper, and just after, they let time code it for 20 minutes. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time for me, and I didn't finish it on time.
After we talked about a project I did while drawing the system design on the whiteboard. I didn't pass the first interview but the feeling overall was good, the interviewers were very kind, and they provided good feedback for future interviews
