I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day.

My recent interview experience with Nubank was frustrating. It all started in a standard way, with a series of HR questions covering previous experiences, technologies I've worked with, and my familiarity with data modeling and databases. Up to that point, everything seemed normal. However, after an hour of conversation, the recruiter revealed that the work model was hybrid, alternating between two months of remote work and one week on-site. That's when the complications arose. When asking about the reimbursement of travel, lodging, and meal expenses for these on-site weeks, I was informed that these costs would be my responsibility. This information came as a shock, especially considering it should have been shared right at the beginning of the interview, saving both my time and the recruiter's. The expectation that candidates travel to São Paulo every two months, bearing all expenses, is unrealistic and disrespectful. Airfares, for example, considering the state I live in, cost around 3 to 4 thousand reais, not to mention the high lodging and meal costs near Avenida Paulista, where the office is located. It is essential that companies take responsibility for the costs associated with work, especially when they are not trivial. Nubank's stance in this regard was deeply disrespectful, leaving this crucial information for the end of the interview. I wasted approximately one hour and fifteen minutes on a process I would have declined from the start if I had been aware of these conditions. Transparency and respect for candidates' time and finances should be priorities in any selection process. My experience with Nubank served as an unpleasant reminder that this is not always the case.

The interview covered my previous experiences, the technologies I have worked with, and my familiarity with data modeling and databases. They also asked about the impact of my work in my current company. The prompt was, 'Tell me about an activity you led that had the greatest impact on the client or the company,' and, 'Detail that impact.'
