Technical Coding Behavioral
The interview process is pretty smooth. There was one technical assessment, which you can do in a language of your choice, and one behavioral/technical interview that goes over your resume and experiences. I'm still waiting on their decision.

Coding Technical Presentation Behavioral
The interview day was from around 9 am to 3 pm and included an office tour, some whiteboard coding problems, lunch with team members, and a final segment where I had to teach them something or present a project/code. The interviewers seemed disengaged, with one even dozing off and snoring during my presentation. Another was on their phone. I felt I had to lead the conversation and ask them questions because they barely asked about my background or skills. It was an uncomfortable experience, feeling like they were just going through the motions without genuine interest in assessing me.

- I also encountered a palindrome problem with a twist.

Todo fue muy sencillo y agradable. Fue rápido y consistió en preguntas generales sobre mi persona y mis aptitudes, actitudes y habilidades. Duró unos 30 minutos, durante los cuales me explicaron sus funciones y métodos de trabajo, así como sus principios, valores, misión y formas de compensación.

Technical Behavioral
I had an hour to work on a problem on a big piece of paper. Then, we talked about the company culture. The recruiter was really nice and talked a lot. It's less about what you've done before and more about if you can think straight and explain yourself well.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Could you share your experiences working in teams?
