Reaktor is a tech company with a casual work attire dress code, our casual dress code reflects our emphasis on comfort and creativity. Moreover, we’re here to find out more about you and your experience not judge your fashion sense. Wear what you feel comfortable in, and wear what you might wear if you were meeting a client. T-Shirts are fine!

Cut down on technical difficulties by testing out your setup ahead of time, you can log into the Google Meet early (we can’t tell) and check that everything is working. You can also try to set up a Google Meet with a friend to make sure you can see, been seen, hear, and be heard.

It’s recommended that you don’t use a wireless microphone as they are not always reliable and can make it difficult to hear your if you’re breaking up. You can wear headphones and set your microphone to your computer if you need to.

Google recommends using the latest version of one of these browsers to use Google Meet: Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Apple Safari. It’s important to have a stable internet connection so do check your connection speed if you’re speaking to us from a place you’re unfamiliar with.

• Choose a quiet area inside with neutral or tidy background, alternatively use Google Meet’s backgrounds

• Make sure your light source comes from behind your computer, and if you’re in a darker room do turn on the light! Avoid using your screen to make your face visible or have heavy back lighting which can make you look like a silhouette

• Make sure you’re sitting somewhere comfortable as you might be sitting there for a while!

• Bring water or another beverage to hydrate yourself, and feel free to request a break if you need it

Feel free to write notes to prepare for your interview as this is not a memory test, but be careful about coming across too “robotic” or like you’re reading something word-for-word. If you need to scan through your notes to prompt yourself, let your interviewer know.

Finnish people are notoriously punctual, and this is something that is valued across Reaktor. Logging in a couple of minutes early to account for any last-minute technical issues isn’t a terrible idea.

Your interviewers will wait ten minutes for you before marking you as a “no show”. We are reasonable and understanding people, so do let us know what happened and we’ll try to rearrange.

Please note, that when you no show or cancel later stage interviews last minute you are taking time away from other candidates — we understand that you might have other priorities and if you need to pause your process with us, let us know and we can facilitate this.

Interviews are your opportunity to gather the information that you need to find out if Reaktor is somewhere YOU would like to work, so don’t hesitate to ask us plenty of questions. If at the end of the process you still have questions, we’ll be happy to setup more time for you with the appropriate people.

Approach your interview with a positive and open mindset. Remember, this conversation is as much about us getting to know you as it is about you finding out if Reaktor is the right fit for you. Be yourself, and don’t be afraid to share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences—these help us see how you think and work.

It’s natural to feel nervous, but try to view the interview as a two-way dialogue rather than a one-sided evaluation. We value authenticity and want to get to know the real you, so focus on engaging in the conversation rather than aiming for perfection.
