Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). Fui entrevistado pela SourceWhale em fev. de 2026
Entrevista
I applied through a recruiter and had an interview scheduled within a week with the CTO, VP of Engineering, and a Senior Engineer. The process was a single 90 minute session split into three parts.
•Part 1: Introductions and a discussion of my background, including questions about my experience working in a start-up environment as it scaled.
•Part 2: A live coding exercise based on a verbally described scenario.
•Part 3: A short conversation about a system design problem, based on a slide deck I submitted beforehand.
Overall, the experience was positive. The interviewers were friendly, engaged, and open to discussion and a short break between each stage was offered however I chose to continue. I did struggle with the live coding portion because I haven’t been writing code daily for a few years, but the team encouraged conversation throughout and I never felt pressured or judged.
I also want to mention something that may help others: I have auditory processing issues related to autism spectrum disorder and rely heavily on lip reading. During the live coding section, I was screen sharing, so I couldn’t see the interviewers’ faces and had to rely solely on the audio description of the problem. That definitely affected my performance, and I hadn’t made the recruiter aware of this beforehand. If you have similar needs, it may be worth flagging them early so the team can accommodate you.

Straightforward interview process but very obvious they are looking for a bum on a seat and someone who tows the line. I asked if there were any concerns to which they said no, and I had positive feedback during the interviews but in the end I was left confused as I didn't get any real feedback other than "other candidates were better suited".

Really kind recruiter. Didn’t get further but seemed interesting to work for. They had two roles and they wanted to have a ux designer who knows aesthetics and functionality
