Entrevista
Super transparent and upfront about every step, even going as far as offering feedback at the end of the process. Heavy emphasis on technical competence though despite being a good culture fit

Entrevista
First, a standard 30 min screening call with HR. Then 1h live coding with one of their engineers and a nice short chat. Next was 30 min call with 2 managers. We dropped the interview process after this one. I don't know what went wrong here. The managers weren't as friendly as the engineer I talked to previously though - no smile on their faces. I've waited for a week to get some feedback after this stage and they gave me some generic answer, but only after I sent them an email about it.
Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
HR screening: standard "tell me about yourself", "why do you want to work here", etc.
Live coding: implement a method for credit score calculation. Then you expand on it in the 2nd part. No advanced algorithms needed for this. Just read the assignment carefully and pay attention to the edge cases.
Manager round: "describe a challenging project you worked on", "why do you want to work here", "how do you respond to negative and positive feedback"

1. HR call
2. pair programming session. I was told it was going to be a leetcode type problem. but was something completly different, I did the exercise after some corrections (the 2nd task was not well explained and the interviewer did some changes on the code source to correct it). The interviewer told me that, was ok and I will pass. Next week I received an automatical mail as I will not pass to the next stage.
