I applied online. The process took 1 week.

A recruiter contacted me by email and sent me a home assessment to develop a tax calculator for stock buying and selling, and I could choose the programming language. I opted for a functional language, which turned out not to be the best choice. The exercise was simple and even fun to do. In the next stage, I participated in a pair programming session with two developers. First, I presented my project and justified my decisions, and then I needed to implement two new features. Until then, everything seemed fine, but I noticed that one of the interviewers did not seem engaged, while the other communicated very little. I tried to explain my decisions as I navigated through the code, but I noticed that both had difficulty following, probably because they did not know the language. At times, it seemed like I was talking to myself, and there wasn't much interaction, which was a bit uncomfortable. Despite this, I managed to implement the first feature without problems and developed the solution for the second, but I didn't finish it. In the last stage, I asked questions about the culture of code reviews, interaction between engineers, and engineering autonomy in relation to other areas. The answers were short and not very elaborate. As feedback, it would be important to scale interviewers who are willing to do the interview and ensure that they are familiar with the language used in the project before the interview, given that it appears in the language suggestions in the email. Apart from that, the process seems well structured.

Some questions about how I structured the project etc.
