Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. El proceso duró 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Bayer (Ankeny, IA) en jul 2022
Entrevista
Initial interview was an automated coding interview with video recordings after each exercise to provide feedback on why you did what you did, basically to explain your answer. I spent about 2 hours re-recording my answers after doing the coding challenge and basically criticized how stupid the coding questions were. Apparently I didn't tick them off too much because I got a 2nd interview with actual people. I was told it would be 30 minutes to meet the team but it was an hour and a half interview with about an hour of that doing more stupid coding challenges as I shared my screen with them. Interview was in C# even though it was a job coding Python. Just entirely stupid. Then their C# compiler was using Mono which threw different errors than the standard Visual Studio environment I was used to which was frustrating. I'm used to it doing one thing for the last 20 years and it's saying something else is wrong. Just a really stupid process.

I really wish I remembered them but there were like weird math and data filter questions that were not well defined and there was nobody to ask for clarification. Their system had unit tests it ran on your code afterward and you got either a pass or fail on them without telling you more info.
I did interview for more than 1 hour and it went well. First they asked about my previous experiences and then they asked me questions on backend, API's and also about cloud technologies.
