Software Engineer Interview Experience - São Paulo, Brazil
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 7 weeks.
It is an excessively long process where you need to go through all phases, which are 6 (HR screening, technical test, architecture test, pair programming, manager interview, culture interview), and only at the end do you get feedback on the process. Even a background check for criminal records is done during the process, only to be eliminated at the end due to cultural fit or technical issues. For those who are already in the job market, it is extremely difficult to juggle so many calls during working hours.
Questions
Technical test: The development of a tax calculation system for buying and selling stocks.
Architecture Test: On a whiteboard, the proposal for a file-based chargeback system architecture.
Pair Programming: Explanation of the technical test and implementation of requested changes in the code.
Manager Interview: A more in-depth look at your work and your day-to-day routine.
