Technical Behavioral

The interview was a positive and challenging experience, although I was not ultimately selected for the position. From the first contact, communication with the team was clear and friendly, and I felt they valued transparency about the process and the steps to follow. The interview agenda was well-structured, with time for technical and situational questions, and to learn more about the company culture.

Behavioral Presentation

3 interview stages. First, the recruiter. Then, the Madrid office. Up to this point very positive, constant feedback. The last in-person interview at the Barcelona office. The bittersweet feeling, I feel like some answers were not expected. After the interview, I sent an email to thank the department head for their time. So far (more than 6 months) I haven't received a response. I haven't received any response from the recruiter either, or from anyone. Feedback 0. Response 0.

Technical Behavioral

The selection process includes an in-depth technical interview with the area manager and senior members of the technical team, aiming to validate professional experience, disciplinary knowledge, and fit with the job challenges. This phase allows for the assessment of both technical skills and collaboration capability in real-world contexts. Once the right person is identified or the number of candidates is narrowed down to a final group, an interview is conducted with the Human Resources team to evaluate cultural fit, candidate expectations, and contractual aspects.
