CI&T Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

This was one of the fastest interview processes I've ever been through. Very direct, no messing around, well-structured, and they know what they want in a professional. Everything flowed really well, from the HR stage to the technical interview (and I want to praise the technical interview for having women interviewing women, which is always great to point out). It made me feel welcomed, comfortable, and at ease seeing other women there during the interview.

I was contacted by HR after a referral with my resume and participated in two interviews on separate days. One was 30 minutes with an HR person, where she told me about the available positions, shared some info about the company, and asked me some questions about my professional and personal background, with no technical details. The second interview was with HR + a QA from the project I was more interested in from the previous chat (and who HR also thought my profile fit best). This second interview lasted 1 hour, with a few more questions about company culture and other more technical and English-related questions.

The interview was normal, the usual questions. But what stood out to me was the company culture. More than 3 months after the interview and no contact was made. I don't understand how professionals operate like this. When a commitment is made (e.g., we will contact you to let you know if you passed or not), it is expected that the commitment will be fulfilled. If this is how they treat candidates, imagine the relationship with employees? Or even with clients? You need to maintain a minimum of respect and professionalism. The selection process exposes the company to the market, so care must be taken not to make these mistakes and tarnish its reputation. I suggest they keep a document with ready-made messages to copy and paste when they are not interested in a candidate. In 3 minutes you solve this issue, keeping your word. A candidate can amplify their voice to dozens or even hundreds of people. Fortunately, the other companies I interviewed with did not follow the logic of CI&T and actually contacted me, either with personalized feedback or a copy-paste email. This is what is expected and it certainly tells me a lot about the values of these companies. For candidates who are about to interview, it's always important to disconnect after the conversation and keep applying for other positions. You can even contact them and inquire about the status of the selection, but my experience tells me you make better use of your time seeking relationships with companies that choose to invest their time in you. Overall, a terrible experience.
