Software Engineer Interview Experience - São Paulo, Brazil

Process

I applied online.

It was a very long and tedious interview process. It lasted for several (4+) months with many interviews. If you ever say you're not in a hurry, they will just drag you forever. Feedback was also very slow, taking over a month to respond regarding step results. The final step is a flight to their HQ where you do a pair programming and maybe some more interviews. The pair programming was disastrous as it was expected I should follow their implicit development methodologies, and questions weren't answered directly.

An example question that I'd ask would be:

  • Do you want me to write a better test for this function or should I move on to the next task? And the answer would be:
  • You can choose. The problem is that the choice will impact their final decision even though you just want clarification regarding what they want you to show them given the time constraint: a better unit test or more problem solving. You can't do both, and if you pick the wrong one too many times, they will decline you.

Questions

Modify one of the projects they initially sent to accommodate one out of two or three new features that they are proposing, which you can pick.
