I applied, and they sent me a test on Codingame to code algorithms, which I find outdated. Of course, the score I got didn't please them, but at the same time, I wonder what the use of that is for a senior position. Who revises algorithms unless they just graduated from school or trained specifically for that? There was no question related to the work that I am supposed to do, just coding algorithms. That had already discouraged me! Too bad.

What I was expecting:

• Design an architecture
• Design pattern
• Manage concurrency and performance
• Work with databases
• Do troubleshooting in production
• Set up CI/CD
• Work with the cloud
• Do code reviews
• Accompany junior developers
• Discuss with business teams
• etc.

What the AI thinks 😊: What it says about the company. When a company filters exclusively via Codingame for a senior profile, I often deduce that:

• Their recruitment process is industrialised.
• They receive a huge number of applications.
• They try to reduce the volume before the interviews.

That doesn't necessarily mean that the company is bad...
