Entrevista
1. HR interview, many questions about thinking, culture and many many more for just step one.
2. Technical assessment interview with "tech leader". It took two and a half hours, I have to ask why is a techeader taking more than a quarter of the day to do interviews, multiply it by the amount of candidates and it's ridiculously long.
First part: typing assessment. Open a link and start typing like if we were in middle of the XX century and the role is for journalist.
Second part: Tech questions. Two or three questions about PHP, Laravel, SQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript. Pretty normal questions but at this point, ask for HTML and CSS have no sense. It weren't practical questions, they were like how would you explain HTML to an 8 years old.
Third part: Code assessment. My guy shows up with a variant of prisoners dilema, he ask for code it into JavaScript. At the end, shows up the assessment wasn't to see if you're good on statistics, math or coding, it was to catch up if people are using AI. Nothing to be related to the problem solving skills you may need for the role, or hypothetical situations where you may to think about an architecture or a programming stack. Just two hours to "catch you up". He may think it was an smart and unique move, but turns out all the questions were taken from LinkedIn, veritasium channel on YouTube for dilemmas, and game theory which is general culture for developers.

Entrevista
3 rounds. Majorly behavioral and case study rounds. They were trying to understand the person as a whole and understanding their working style and if it matches with the companies.
I applied online and received a call back same week. First round lasted around 45 min. Consisted of behavioral questions and Little case study related questions.
Second round around an hour was with project manager. third, lasted 30-45 min with team mates, project manager and the owner/director. Fourth round lasted 2 hours.
There were lot of repeat questions.
Overall easy process but after the last round, they said to get back to me in a day but got completely ghosted.
