I applied through another source. The process took 2 months.

Two months long. An interview with this company is something to happen once, and only once. Believe me, there are better options out there. Read my story. In my calculations, from interviews to code challenge efforts, something around 20 hours of my life were invested.

Stages of the interview process:

• Interview: exploratory
• Code Challenge
• Interview: Software Architecture
• Interview: Code Challenge review, adding functions and improving tests
• Interview: Culture Fit, with a person who could barely maintain an English spoken conversation (switched to Spanish in order to ease the person's interactions)

Feedback: thank you for participating, but our score system determined that you were not qualified for the last interview. Please apply again in 6 months.

Two weeks later, Nubank sends me an email, inviting me to join the process once again. Emails during the process are full of purple hearts, and messages like "I am rooting for you". For a negative response, it's "thanks for your time, but we are not moving on... apply again in six months". Does this sound as some sort of hypocrisy to you?

Tell me about tough situations you had in the past in working environments, and how did you overcome them?
