Candidatei-me por indicação de um funcionário. O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Xero em jun. de 2024
Entrevista
At first, it was a chat with the recruiter, which went great. He was kind enough to provide tips for the technical interview.
The technical interview was proudly claimed (several times) to be technology agnostic, yet my level of stress and abilities were severely damaged when I was asked to implement code in C#.
We spent over 30 minutes looking at me stressing out and failing to code in C#. Most of the task was completed, and I demonstrated an enormous amount of knowledge by improving the code and discussing best practices - all went out the window as a result of failing to implement the code properly and fast enough to progress with the interview

It takes too long. The questions are difficult. Also there is a behavior test, not sure whether this test is useful. The technical questions are good:
Lead technical design and implementation of complex features and systems
Write high-quality, maintainable code and automated tests
Make pragmatic architectural and technical decisions that balance short-term delivery with long-term sustainability
Coding assessments: Can be live or take-home. pair programming with a given codebase.
Behavioral + teamwork: Interview with non-engineers (e.g., PMs) to probe how you work in teams, handle conflict, and resolve issues.

Entrevista
There were 4 rounds.
1) Chat with internal recruiter to check your values, experience and aspirations.
2) Coding challenge: Test conducted on HackerRank. Not overly hard but wouldn't say its simple. The engineer overseeing the test (Cath) was a legend and made me feel at ease.
3) Execution & Cross-Functional Collaboration Discussion: Chat with someone from a non-engineering team. Expect questions around your way of working, challenges you've faced and how you resolve conflicts.
4) Culture Fit & Team Interview: 2 senior/lead engineers check if you fit their teams. Expect questions about your technical background, your exposure to the technologies these teams use and challenges you've face.
Even though I didn't get the job I walked away having learned a lot and the feedback provided by the internal recruiter (Raisa) was very detailed and will help me in my future endeavours.
