Software Engineer Interview Experience - Belo Horizonte, Brazil

November 30, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 1 week.

I was contacted by someone on LinkedIn stating that my experience seemed to fit the opportunities the company has, that I would be working with Flutter for mobile development, but that prior experience was not necessary as they provided internal training. I accepted the contact and received a link to schedule an interview with a recruiter. The interview was super simple, just a chat about my previous experiences and future aspirations, and the reasons why I was interested in working at Nubank. The recruiter then said the next steps would be:

  • Technical Exercise on the HackerRank platform
  • Architecture Interview with an area manager
  • Pair programming exercise with a team member
  • Culture interview

The recruiter explained that the first step, which would be the exercise on HackerRank, had a 7-day duration, but this only applies to the validity of the link. In reality, it needed to be solved in 2 hours, consisting of specific iOS exercises. The problem with this type of exercise is that, if it is an elimination criterion, it is far from being considered the best way to evaluate a person's technical skills in the development field. The questions are always vague, the platform is terrible for running any kind of code, and, considering my mobile development experience, they were far from being considered coherent with the proposal of receiving training to work with another platform. I believe there are other ways to better evaluate a person's technical skills and I sincerely hope that in the future Nubank rethinks using this type of platform and considering its results as eliminatory for the process. I subsequently received a standard email stating that they decided not to move forward with my application, and that if I wanted to receive technical feedback I could request it. Well, I requested it and received no response.

Questions

There were standard questions about previous experiences and future aspirations, along with explanations of how the company works and the next steps in the interview process.
