By far the worst selection process ever. Not even if you pass, you get in!

1. Meeting with the HR recruiter (15-20 min)
2. Pattern recognition assignment (15-18 min)
3. Live coding to improve an Express.js API (60 min)
4. System design interview (60 min)
5. Cultural fit interview (60 min)
6. Alignment to move forward with HR (15 min, only if you passed the last 3 interviews)

The recruiter and all the engineers in the technical interviews were very professional and polite. However, after more than 30 emails exchanged, €50 spent on coworking, and a lot of studying for the technical interviews, I felt significant disappointment. This was after more than 5 weeks in the selection process, having been approved in all stages, and the company agreeing to pay my salary.

When I reached stage 6 (Alignment to move forward with HR), the recruiter said she would find a team for me and send me the contract if it was a match. I waited a week until I sent an email asking for updates and was told they had no vacancies for me and had filled them with an internal candidate.

Seriously? They spent so many resources and time from employers and candidates and... I am done.

If you want to move forward anyway, remember the joke is on you!
