Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 3 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela January em jun. de 2025
Entrevista
Unique process with unique attitude. The recruiter never gave clear guide on interview process. Some interviewers were professional and knowledgable. Others were distracted and kept interrupting with their poor audio connection. One of the interviewers didn't prepare for the scale challenge. When I asked for clarified questions for different use cases, he didn't understand and didn't answer any details. The only answer I got was there will be GET and POST APIs. When I explained my solutions, he turned around and did something unrelated and then came back with "I didn't hear you, can you repeat the answer?" The entire process was lack of respect to interviewer and it's a waste of time

Be wary before investing 5+ hours of your time - you might get an automated rejection at the end. For a company that says they value "direct feedback" they don't practice what they preach.
