Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Anchore em jul. de 2021
Entrevista
A recruiter reached out to me, and after chatting with her, Iwas set up on a call with an Engineering Manager who was my potential future manager. He was really great and we enjoyed talking, so I was bumped to the next round (the final round).
The final round was a series of four 1-hour interviews where I spoke to a Senior Engineer, the same Engineering Manager from round 1, another Software Engineer, and finally the VP of Engineering.
Some of the interviews tested me on technical know-how, but a lot of it was more generally getting to know how I work and collaborate, and how I would go about solving certain problems.
The team passed on me for a more senior person, and I was bummed about that; however, they all seemed like incredibly kind, genuine people who love their craft. Seems like a really great team to revisit in the future.

Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 3 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Anchore (Londres, Inglaterra) em jul. de 2020
Entrevista
I was contacted by a recruiter via Linkedin describing the role, I don't usually follow up on recruiter messages but this felt like the role and company was very well suited to me (showing that solid research had been done).
It was especially attractive as it was a good opportunity to join a burgeoning startup who were rapidly expanding into a new region.
After an initial chat with the recruiter, I had a number of 1:1 conversations with members of the team I would be joining, the VP of Customer Success (hiring manager), and the VP of Sales (as the job would also involve doing some pre-sales work in the new region).
Every single person I spoke to was extremely friendly and I used the word 'conversations' as they didn't really feel like interviews at all.
While there was some level of technical questioning, this was more focussed around informed discussions about the technologies I've worked with/haven't worked with, rather than tickbox "Can you tell me what function X does?" exercises.
Ultimately I did not accept the offer at Anchore, but this was purely due to personal circumstances and timing with my current company, rather than anything to do with my interview experience.
From the interview process, I truly believe that Anchore would be a very fulfilling place to work.
Even during these conversations to discuss about whether I would accept the offer, I got the overwhelming impression that everybody genuinely cared for what's best for me and gave heartfelt advice, rather than just trying to sway my opinion.
It's clear that Anchore have an incredible set of people and I wish them all the best for the future.
