Quorum Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

A recrutadora entrou em contato e, depois de uma conversa rápida, me passou um desafio técnico. Fiz o desafio, fui aprovado, e aí fomos para um whiteboard de arquitetura. Passei nessa também e segui para a última etapa: uma conversa com o gerente da área e um desenvolvedor sênior. Primeiro eles perguntaram sobre minhas experiências e depois me deram outro desafio de arquitetura. Depois disso, a recrutadora sumiu no WhatsApp. Tentei pedir feedback pro gestor no LinkedIn, mas ele também não respondeu. No fim, gastei tempo em várias etapas, incluindo um projeto, e a empresa nem se deu ao trabalho de dar uma resposta, nem boa nem ruim. Processo patético, desrespeitoso e muito antiprofissional. Ah, e eles me procuraram, eu não me candidatei pra vaga.

I saw the job on Linkedin, chatted with someone I knew about it, and thought the company's mission and tech sounded cool, so I applied. A recruiter reached out via email and scheduled an interview. The recruiter asked about my salary expectations right away, which was a bit strange since their docs say they don't do that and make fair offers. We chatted about the company's history and my background. Then, I got a take-home coding test, which they estimated would take 2 hours but actually took me about 8. It wasn't super hard, but needed attention to detail. Next, I had a technical interview with a developer where we discussed my career experiences, how I'd tackle problems, and programming concepts. We also reviewed my take-home code and talked about potential improvements, no new code needed. This went well. Then, two senior devs led a system design interview where I had to present a solution to a common problem and discuss its trade-offs. They said I passed this stage. After that, the recruiter said I'd have a final interview with a manager and asked for availability. I gave it, but then got ghosted for weeks. After I followed up, the recruiter said they'd hired someone else. Weirdly, the same position was posted on Linkedin the next day, and I never figured out what actually happened.

The interview process had 5 rounds total. Everything was laid out clearly at the start. It kicked off with a phone screen, then a technical interview, followed by a take-home assignment. After that, there was a system design session, and it wrapped up with a hiring manager conversation. The whole thing took nearly a month, but it was a pretty straightforward path.
