I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Reply (Mailand) in Jun 2015
Interview
I had a first intro chat, then directly technical interview (very lean) and a final interview with HR. The technical interview was done via Skype directly with a senior manager who also had a very strong technical background (something I really appreciated). The HR interview was in person at the headquarter in Milan, it took half day, and went trough all the usual HR processes - very smooth process though.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
About my previous working experience, a few technical questions about the role, very lean and smooth interview process
It was a friendly and relaxed first round HR interview with a very welcoming atmosphere. The conversation was not difficult, and the interviewer made a clear effort to create a comfortable environment, which helped me speak openly and feel at ease throughout the entire conversation.
Il primo colloquio è con le risorse umane (generico, introduttivo). Successivamente viene proposto un colloquio conoscitivo dove vengono chieste le esperienze accademiche e i progetti svolti. Il tutto termina con un colloquio tecnico.

Question 1
Quali progetti svolti sono inerenti alla posizione per cui ti stai candidando?
Domande standard su percorso di studi ed interessi, più alcune domande di logica. Il colloquio è stato condotto dal responsabile del team sotto cui sarei poi andato a lavorare. Come primo colloquio del processo di assunzione è abbastanza normale.
