Entrevista
By far, the worst interview experience I had until now! I applied to be a freelancer software engineer with Toptal, the process was the following one:
- Interview in English with a human resources person, the interview was nice and i passed this step
- Online algorithm test in hackerrank or leetcode style, it was easy and i passed by the way.
- interview with a software engineer for discussing some algorithms (in theory) - here the
problems with the interview process happened.
I was expecting to have a technical discussion, but when the interviewer arrived he said just one thing, that he didn't know what the human resources professional saw on me and that my experience didn't qualify me as a good software engineer because they were mostly part time or non formal jobs. He didn't ask any question, just said how unqualified i was, and he was very disrespectful. Almost crying, I tried to say that I didn't agree on what he was saying and he said that he would end the call and send the results by e-mail on the next day, and no surprise I got rejected. This was the single time ever that I cried because how someone treated me on a job interview! BTW, lucky because I didn't get into that company, because later I could receive an offer from a big4 tech giant.Not so fast... please remove the bad language before submitting.
