Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 1 dia. Fui entrevistado pela Morningstar (Chicago, IL) em jul. de 2009
Entrevista
The interview was mainly asking whether I was competent enough to do a software developer job with a non-software background, and whether I would be willing to learn financial knowledge, both of which I was asked three times with different way of asking. The interviewer was alright but was not very clear in talking, and there was a second person who stays quiet most of the time in the background, which sometimes made me slightly awkward.
Will update this when I move on with the interview.

I asked the HR contact what type of questions/assessment the interview would consist of, and they said whiteboarding technical problems. The actual interview surprisingly was questions about my experiences instead.

Pergunta 1
How did you and your team for this project on your resume decide on your tech stack?
Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Morningstar (Londres, Inglaterra) em nov. de 2025
Entrevista
2 hour interview with different stages:
- review of a take home technical task
- technical questions
- coding problem
- design challenge
- team fit
- questions
I didn't pass the technical part - so never got to team fit/questions stage.
But the first part felt unpleasant due to interviewers attitude.
There were 2 interviewers (Senior Software Engineers) who introduced themselves, but never given me time to introduce myself as well - I had to take initiative myself to do that.
I am not a star developer and I can understand I might have made not a very good impression, but this does not entitle interviewers to treat me without respect. In the end it's them who invited me to the interview.
Sometimes it felt like they didn't even listen to what I was answering and then telling me things as if I didn't told same things before.
