Process
I was contacted by this company via LinkedIn in Portuguese. This suggests they did not review my profile or CV, as they would have understood I do not speak the language.
I kindly responded that I speak English and asked if we could proceed in that language, but received no reply.
In the meantime, I submitted a job application and again received a response via email in Portuguese. I reiterated my preference for English and provided the requested answers.
They then asked for my phone number, which I provided, but they never called.
Now, five months later, I have received a new email with an offer for an interview.
I believe this behavior indicates that this is not a serious company, that they are very unorganized, and disrespectful towards candidates.

- 1.0Extremely bureaucratic. Not mission-focused. Your happiness will depend on your team and managerSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeMay 15, 2022Pros: Good benefits, and work-life balance is good.Cons: Extremely bureaucratic. My team had a 10-page document for how to do stand-ups. We had several meetings and email threads for how to properly format emojis in our Slack messages. Reddit relies on process instead of trusting each other. Middle management is not mission-focused. Managers optimize for team and personal visibility. We had many discussions about how to make our team look good in front of the broader organization. The PM on my team stopped making themself visible in meetings when it was clear their product experiment was failing.
