Behavioral Technical

First, there was a chat with the recruiter. Then, I talked with the team about the project and my experience. After that, I had a conversation with the coordinator about my career stage and if I was a good fit for the company. They mentioned the role was 100% remote, but then they asked me to travel to the city for an in-person interview. When I brought up the discrepancy, they asked if I had it recorded, so heads up, get it in writing or they might change their minds. Finally, they send the offer in writing.

Behavioral Technical Coding

It was a quick interview, they asked me to introduce myself, gave some info about college, some details about my experiences, which college subjects I liked, if I understood algorithms, object-oriented programming, programming logic, how I used OOP in college projects, if I knew SQL and Python, and why I chose my college. A very quick interview, I didn't get to talk more about myself, my expectations, my differentiators, I found the interview very technical, and a professional isn't just made of technical skills, I feel like soft skills aren't very important at Itaú.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Which university subjects did you enjoy and what do you know about programming fundamentals, which languages have you used, how did you apply concepts in your projects, why did you choose this university, and what was your day-to-day like in other companies?

Technical Behavioral

Fui abordado no LinkedIn por uma recrutadora, marcamos uma conversa, mas quando cheguei era uma entrevista técnica, o que não foi me avisado. Foi uma vaga afirmativa PCD e sou autista. Outra pessoa entrou na reunião e fez perguntas uma atrás da outra, tentando me induzir ao erro e tornando a experiência ruim. Perguntaram se tenho contato com AWS e disseram que o modelo de contratação é híbrido, no Jabaquara, que é longe de onde moro. A impressão é que não leem currículo e são despreparados para entrevistar pessoas específicas. É preciso treinar os entrevistadores para lidar com pessoas neurodivergentes. Espero que considerem o feedback.
