Behavioral Technical System Design
I got to the opportunity through a third-party company. One of the most disappointing interviews I've participated in. 3 people in a Google Meet room with only 1 of them questioning you and the others just staring blankly the whole time. Questions that follow a script that isn't complex to answer, but you can tell the interviewer is making up questions based on your answers to make the interview even more difficult. To this day, I still haven't gotten a response from Stone. The third-party company only replied with a 'I'm sorry' for not having any feedback and that when they received it, they would get back to me (never). It's worth highlighting another point: Interviewers with zero soft skills in communication, and these were Managers! No empathy, and always in a hurry. There were moments when the interviewer even got nervous during the System Design stage. Terrible experience! Luckily I won't be working with any of them day-to-day!

So far, this has been the best selection process I've ever been through. Very organized and they always gave quick feedback after the interviews. First, there was an interview with HR to filter my profile. Then came an interview with the manager of the team I would join. In this stage, there were questions related to my career, but mainly about the behavioral part. Next, I had a technical interview where they asked more technical questions about Kotlin and Android, and at the end of the interview, they gave me a challenge that was of the system design type. Finally, a cultural fit interview. I was hired and today I work as a mobile developer. The main stack is Kotlin, including KMP, but I also use Swift and React Native.

O processo foi rápido, a entrevista foi normal, mas fiquei extremamente decepcionado porque quem estava me contratando simplesmente desapareceu. Não responde mais nada no LinkedIn, não me deu feedback sobre a entrevista e o que me deixa mais chateado é que fui super bem na entrevista, tinha grandes expectativas. Entrevista feita dia 19/12 e até agora 01/01 sem resposta.
