Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 semanas. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Grio (Ciudad de Mexico).
Entrevista
3-Step interview process. Phone interview, technical interview and on-site interview.
They insisted on a phone call for the first one rather than the typical video of other IT companies, the date was also scheduled manually through emails. I did not get a call on the indicated day but we rescheduled and did get called the second time.
Nothing special about the first interview. Was asked to speak english for a while instead of the entire thing.
It went well and I was asked to pick a date for the technical interview, which I sent to them. They ignored the email and one week later told me they werne't interested in continuing anymore.

Entrevista
3 parts - a 30 minute phone screen (questions about you, info about the company), a 1-hour, take-home Swift playground problem set (5 questions, a couple bonus questions), and a 1.5-hour 2-part interview (first, a more complex problem over coderpad with 1 interviewer; second, high level questions about iOS.)
It was a good experience. I talked to the engineer lead most of the time - he was most of the email correspondence, the first phone screen, and the last high-level-iOS interview.

Entrevista
Initially I had a phone call with the hiring manager, then a week later a technical phone interview with some coderpad work. Another week passed and Grio contacted me again and asked me to do a coding test. I had 72 hours to build an Android app of their specification. I completed the app in two days (about 44 hours work) with a proper MVVM design including test cases and all bonus app features. Two weeks pass. Grio asks me to come in for a face-to-face. Later, I feel confident that I did well after the face-to-face interviews. Another week passes. Grio is now asking for my work references. I send them 3 references from my prior job, as requested. 10 days pass with no word. Then Grio informs me that "they will not be moving forward."
My feeling here is that Grio as a company paid me no respect whatsoever during the interview process. There was no feedback from the company at any stage. At one point early on, an interviewer wanted a "Hangouts" video call to "see if I fit their culture." I declined that video call and Grio did not see me until the final face-to-face.
Grio made me do a very lot of work to prove I know my stuff. When I did that, they asked for references. The final outcome is that I was left in the position of apologizing to my references and asking them to *again* be a reference next time. Grio gave no indication about why they changed their mind. I'm an older engineer and am left with the feeling that age had something to do with it. I passed all their tests and answered all their questions correctly. I'm an easy going person with no ego. I work well with most anyone. Although qualified, I did not get this job.

Related to the app Grio had me build earlier, I was asked to tell about the section in that with greatest weakness and/or poor design.
