I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ciklum (Madrid) in Mar 2023
Interview
La primera entrevista con Recursos Humanos fue genial, pero luego vino la entrevista técnica. El tipo estaba en un café, con mucho ruido y apenas entendía lo que decía, hizo unas preguntas sobre Golang que parecía estar leyendo de un sitio web. Incluso demostró cierto conocimiento, pero no pudo expresar lo que quería saber. Estaba en una situación en la que no sabía si había entendido la pregunta, si había respondido lo que esperaba... en fin, una experiencia horrible.

Question 1
What kind of data types have you used in Golang (he said slice was a data type)? What is a slice? What is scheduler? (refering a go routines) etc
