Candidatei-me online. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Wandercraft.
Entrevista
At first it went great. Then after a few rounds, complete silence — I never got a response despite several follow ups. It was very disappointing given the time invested
The interview process can be best described as "Maximum Extraction, Zero Interaction."
There was absolutely no initial screening call, no introduction to the team, and no human contact whatsoever. I simply received an email dumping a massive technical assignment on me. The power dynamic felt comically unbalanced: candidates are expected to burn their entire week architecting a complex system and writing documentation, while the hiring team seemingly sits back in a café, sipping espresso and eating macarons, waiting for the results to roll in without lifting a finger.
After submitting a solution that handled all edge cases and requirements, I received a generic, template rejection email more than a week later. There was no feedback, no code review, and no acknowledgment of the significant engineering effort invested. It felt less like a hiring process and more like free consulting or idea farming.
