The process kicked off with an email follow-up regarding my application, and coordination for both HR and technical interviews. It was a really smooth and well-organized process. I was kept in the loop the whole time. It had 2 interviews and quite a bit of written material. The interaction was always very professional and friendly, and all communication, written and verbal, was in English.

The interview process was quite short, with 3 stages. First, there was a 30-min HR screening call. Then, a 1-hour online meeting with HR to discuss my experience and learn about the company. Finally, a technical interview with 3 developers, covering general knowledge, specific library/framework questions, and a 1-hour live coding task in plain JS. I got an offer from HR a few days later for the Málaga team. The whole thing took a week.

Behavioral Technical
I got contacted on LinkedIn about the QA Architect role. The first interview was a phone call with the recruiter, which went well. That same day, I got an email to schedule a technical interview. The second interview was purely technical, lasting about 1.5 hours. They asked about CI/CD, TDD, automation frameworks, and programming languages, even though these weren't in the job description. I felt I answered thoroughly, explaining my thought process. Three days later, the recruiter emailed, saying they weren't moving forward because I lacked technical testing experience, which wasn't in the JD. My feedback is that they should have more than one interviewer for a better assessment and update the job description to match the actual requirements.

Behavioral Technical Case Presentation
The interview process was pretty chaotic and unprofessional. It started with the hiring manager. Then there was an assignment, which I finished in a day, but I didn't hear back for a month. When I finally got feedback, they wanted me to do a more product-focused interview with some current Product Managers/Owners. This interview went well, and they said they wanted to move me forward quickly. They scheduled the next interview for the next day, but then I got an email saying they had to reschedule. After that, I never heard back about a new date or any feedback. So, I just moved on and took another offer.
