Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - São Paulo, Brazil
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks.
The process is complex, with several stages, and the design system is one of the final ones. You complete a huge LeetCode problem initially, they ask you to explain it, and then you move on to the design system. The problem is that after dedicating weeks to the tests, they simply disappear and send you one of those automated emails. I found it to be disrespectful to the professional who dedicates weeks of their time to do the company's tests and in the end receives no feedback, nothing. Just an automated email. You don't know what you did wrong, whether the position was simply canceled, whether it was already filled, nothing! Disrespectful.
Questions
LeetCode, Design System, Resiliência, and other questions that are already standard in the market.
