Entrevista
First phase 90min 3 problems on hackerrank. Not very algorithmical so choose a language you are very familiar with.
Second phase is an interview with 2 algorithmic problems 15min to code each. I would recommend using python on this one
Third phase home project: I had to make a calorie tracker app in 7 days deadline, work expected was 10h (yes 10h ridiculous knowing that you need a production ready app)
I was rejected in the third phase, I choose django for backend and react for frontend, apparently I wrote very non standard react code: I used inheritance with react components and I didnt use hooks...
They told me I can apply again in ~2 months and do only the home project but I'm not a PEP standard loving andy so thats not gonna happen.

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,.
