Software Engineer Interview Experience - São Paulo, Brazil

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. There were 5 steps.

  • First, a chat with HR to align on the role and explain things better.
  • Second, delivering code based on a problem.
  • Third, the famous whiteboard session where 2 architects put you into a problem and you need to come out the other side. There is no right or wrong; the important thing is that the solution works.
  • Fourth, a code review interview based on the code that you developed in the previous step. Also, based on that code, you will be asked to change or implement things live. All tests have to run.
  • Fifth, an interview with the manager for company culture alignment and etc.

I found it very extensive, and if you do well in all rounds but don't pass the last one, nothing is taken into consideration.
