Process
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took two weeks.
- First stage: A take-home test with a guideline of completing it within three to four days. After about a couple of days of submitting my test, I received positive feedback.
- Second stage: A telephone interview with a Senior Engineer that really tested what I know as a Software Developer. I received positive feedback after just one day, which was nice and quick.
- Third stage: A pair programming session with one of the Senior Developers. Then, there was a 45-minute interview with two managers to explore my experience further.
- Fourth stage: A 30-minute telephone interview with the CTO, which was a great opportunity to ask about the business.
