Technical Coding
The worst interview process ever, full of pointless questions that made no sense for an engineering role. Seriously, the questions were so out of touch with what we do. It was just a bad experience all around.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Were there questions about logic that didn't seem relevant to actual work or pair programming?

Me candidatei a vaga pelo LinkedIn e logo fui convidado por e-mail para uma entrevista com o gerente de engenharia. Essa conversa inicial foi para entender minha experiência como desenvolvedor e para nos conhecermos. Depois, fui direcionado para as entrevistas técnicas, que foram três: uma focada em Code Skills, outra em Code Design e a terceira em Arquitetura (FrontEnd). Após essas etapas técnicas, tive uma conversa com o RH para avaliar minhas Soft Skills e discutir situações passadas em empregos anteriores. Por fim, fui entrevistado pelo gerente de engenharia e o diretor da área, onde falamos mais sobre minhas experiências e como lidei com certas situações. O processo todo durou duas semanas e recebi a proposta no mesmo dia da última entrevista.

Coding Technical Presentation
The role was initially for front-end, but the selection process was confusing. They wanted a pair programming session, but it was only an hour long, and there were three people I had to talk to. I felt asking for help would be a negative. The second stage was a reasoning test; I think the interviewer wasn't impressed because I answered everything correctly. The third stage was design, where I had to create flowcharts. It wasn't clear what they wanted, very confusing, and I felt a lack of professionalism. It's a company I don't regret not getting hired by.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Tell me about your experience with pair programming.
- Can you discuss your knowledge of design patterns?
- Explain your approach to creating flowcharts.
