J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez OutSystems
Entretien
The recruiter was great. The first interviewer assumed I was a Trump supporter and both interviewers acted hostile after that assumption (I'm not). Went on telling other candidates about me and my assumed political position. They don't seem to understand the differences in acceptable behavior between Europe and the United States. Feedback said I had poor customer service skills after working in customer-facing roles successfully for over 5 years. The team manager does not understand how indexing works and tried to tell me that re-indexing a table after every input is faster than auto-indexing.
The language barrier is a huge problem for US employees because the questions were not worded properly and the initial assessment had grammatical and logical errors everywhere.

Question 1
1. What should you do if you receive an email with "!!!" in it?
2. How can you increase the efficiency of a database?
I went through four phases. The first two were related to my experience and fit for the position and the last two were technical challenges (sql, algorithms and system design).
