Pergunta 1
3 questions, 1 on reading / modifying JSON files, 1 on a simple messaging backend, 1 on REST apis. Was able to use AI assistants on the last question.
First interviewer was Director level and they had clearly not read my resume prior to the interview. They thought I had a different background than was on my resume.
Second interviewer was clearly prejudiced towards my cultural background. They also did not know for which position or group I was interviewing for.
The company expected me to spend several hours preparing yet they did not prepare at all.

Entrevista
First call with recruiter/hiring manager, then assuming that goes well you go to the first round. First round was a system design which was right out of the early 2000s and something that may sound simple, but was more complicated due to the lack of information.

Pergunta 1
System design question had 2 boxes with a database in the center. The arrows between the 3 all pointed right, implying [App] -> [DB] -> [3rd] party service was how this system was supposed to work. The assumed ask was for an application to write to a DB, describe how the database would make a call to a 3rd party service to get a UUID and Body. It was made clear you have no control over [App] which writes to the database, only the database and whatever service would call the 3rd party service.
