The process started really well. The interview with the hiring manager was great, very in-depth and with good human and professional connection. After that, though, communication just stopped. I was left completely in the dark, even after a proactive follow-up and sending extra material. After a long silence, I just got an automated rejection email. The interview with leadership was the best part, but the lack of a human closing at the end was frustrating.

Group Presentation Behavioral
Tivemos uma dinâmica em grupo onde fui questionado sobre minha trajetória pessoal e profissional. Também me pediram para escolher um personagem fictício que eu gostaria de ser. Depois, teve um teste no estilo role play, onde eu tive que apresentar um imóvel da plataforma como se fosse um arquiteto. Por fim, fiz uma entrevista com o supervisor da área.

Behavioral Technical
I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn who scheduled an interview for me without providing any information about the role. On the day of the interview, it wasn't the recruiter but the manager of the area. The manager started off fast, introduced herself, and immediately asked me to introduce myself without explaining anything about the company. I thought it was very poorly handled by her, as she clearly doesn't know how to conduct an interview.

Technical Coding System Design
It was a 3-stage technical interview process, with each stage lasting 1 hour. The first stage involved an architecture test where I had to draw classes, interfaces, etc. The second stage was a coding challenge with a relatively simple problem. The third stage was quite confusing; it was a whiteboard session to create a design system with very little information on what was expected. The company didn't provide any feedback, even after I sent several emails. In total, I believe it was about 4 hours of interviews, and I think the least they could do is give feedback to the candidate. This is the third layoff from this company; there's no culture of employee care here.
