Candidatei-me por meio de uma agência de recrutamento. O processo levou 1 semana. Fui entrevistado pela Just Eat Takeaway.com (Londres, Inglaterra) em dez. de 2013
Entrevista
A recruiter submitted my CV and covering letter. I was invited to take part in a 1:1 telephone interview with a senior technical person. We had a long conversation in which I explained my skills and interests and the interviewer took plenty of time to detail the history of the technical team, the direction they're moving in technically, the culture and finally just to have a chat about our shared interests. After that I was given a technical test to complete, which involved interacting with a just-eat public API. The test was well-defined and relevant, although fairly simple in scope. I took the opportunity to demonstrate the relevant skills I'd mentioned on my CV (I felt TDD and IoC in particular were relevant to the test). Finally I was invited in for a face-to-face interview. One of the technical leads made me a coffee with their fancy barista-style coffee machine. We went briefly through my technical test and I explained some of the decisions I'd made and what changes I might make. We then went to an area with a bunch of sofas. The technical leads from a number of teams were present along with other engineers who came and went. I was asked to draw on the whiteboard to explain a feature that I had developed. They were looking for clarity of thought and communication as much anything technical. Then we went through my CV, which different people chipping in questions to test my depth of understanding of the areas of expertise I'd mentioned on my CV. This felt like a real grilling but it was also quite fun. Finally, as it was getting on for the end of the day by this point, a few of us went to the pub.

We went fairly systematically through everything on my CV. Because I'd been honest about what technologies I was familiar with, there were no particularly nasty surprises although we went into a lot of depth. The whiteboard presentation was difficult as it's not something I do much of.

I liked the HR process, it was good and fast
I didn't like some of the technical interviewers, they seemed under stress, I had the feeling from them that layoffs are coming soon or the culture in the company is messed up somehow at this moment.
Basically a feeling of people being in survival mode.
Most of them didn't seem to care much about the process, and are probably biased in many ways in their hiring decisions, i.e: preferring to hire people worse than them to avoid the short-end of the stick.
But that's unproven, maybe I am wrong. I think culture fit is very important here, and technical ability not so much.

Despite a warning from a current employee about how most teams in this company are not great for women, I applied to Just Eat because I was actively pursuing opportunities in Go development. I looked up the hiring manager's profile on LinkedIn, and I thought we would get on well as we seemed aligned in our motivations and professional mindset.
The interview seemed to go well. When I asked for an update, one piece of feedback I received was that I seemed confused about parallelism and concurrency, and that they would still proceed with my application. However, the next time Just Eat contacted me was when they asked for feedback about the interview process, which left me quite confused.
Regarding the confusion between parallelism and concurrency, when I was asked if I had used Go’s concurrency features, I mentioned that I had fixed some race conditions and enabled many tests which used channels to run correctly with t.Parallel(). Looking back, perhaps I should have specified that t.Parallel() marks a test for concurrent execution, and they will run in parallel depending on available resources, but I thought a Go advocate would understand this implicitly.
One thing to note is that they seem to evaluate CVs largely based on keywords, so despite having described that you've done something in detail, if the keywords are not explicitly included, that experience will be overlooked.

The process was efficient and typically took 1-2 weeks. It began with an online application, followed by a brief recruiter phone screen. The recruiter was very helpful and sped up the process as I was in other processes at the time.
Had a couple of interviews, cultural fit & technical screens.
