Technical

Na etapa técnica foram mais de duas horas de entrevista com uma abordagem bem ampla de diversos temas. Mesmo tendo um bom aproveitamento, principalmente nas áreas específicas não avançaram, imagino que devido ao valor da vaga.

Technical Behavioral

Eu que entrei em contato com a recrutadora sobre a vaga, trocamos algumas informações básicas e ela marcou pra mesmo dia a entrevista técnica. Fizeram muitas perguntas sobre engenharia de dados, infraestrutura, otimização e qualidade de dados. Recebi um feedback breve no final e mais detalhado dias depois. Depois, fui pra entrevista com minha manager e tech lead, onde falaram sobre o projeto e me perguntaram sobre meu dia a dia e soft skills. Depois disso, a entrevistadora me deu a resposta que tinha passado e hoje estou admitido na Zup. Achei o processo bem organizado e inclusivo, um dos melhores que já participei.
