Entrevista
It starts with a video meeting. This a relaxed chat where the recruiter told a bit about the company and asked about experience and skills.
But then you have to do an online test.
In this test you get relatively small and simple programming challenges. But you have to do these insanely quickly. It something like writing 3 small programs in less than an hour.
In finished 2 programs perfectly, but I cracked under the time pressure, my mind went completely blank and I could not finish the third program.
This was one of the most horrible experiences I ever had. They asked me to try again, but no thanks.

The interview process has been structured and professional so far. It started with the initial application and screening, followed by an online coding assessment with algorithm-style questions focused on correctness, edge cases, and problem solving under time pressure. After completing that stage, I was invited to schedule a live technical interview. Communication has been clear, with detailed instructions about the interview format, environment requirements, screen sharing, and expectations around working without external assistance. The process feels rigorous and time-sensitive,.
