Entrevista
De 10 entrevistas bilingües que tuve fue la única en la que se quejaron de mi nivel de inglés, la entrevistadora fue sumamente condescendiente y mostró nulo interés en mis respuestas.

They will call you first and ask a few questions then proceed to ask a few questions. After which you will have to take an algorithm test. After the algorithm test you will head on for the technical interview

Pregunta 1
The first stage compromises three algorithms to solve within a set time
Pretty straightforward interview process, just the time for completion should be a bit higher regarding the algorithmic technical interview. HR interview is perfectly organized. . . . . . . . . . . .

The interview process starts with a communication interview to determine your ability to speak English. After that it you go on to the three question challenge on codily. You get 90 mins to take the test but don't waste your time if you use a popular language like python. I was accused of cheating and banned for life. I did not look up one solution at all. Not like you can copy and paste the question. One of the questions was converting seconds to a string representing weeks, months, days etc instead of seconds. Tell me how many ways you can do this without divmod, //, and %? You would also have to have if statements. You could do something strange like a nested dictionary but why? That's sloppy. Of course most of your solutions are going to look similar outside variable names. Flawed algorithms I told the engineer who emailed me. What a waste of time. Your best bet to pass is to use a language that is not popular so many solutions out there will not match or just write something outlandish but works. I have worked with people who write code like that and it works but it's sloppy and hard to follow. The even crazier part is I didn't hit the minimum score to pass but they wanted to hear feedback before they made a decision. You mean to tell me I cheated and didn't get 50% on your score sheet? Are you serious? Anyone can copy paste edit. I've been working for 10 years and have a high paying job where I write code off the top of my head because I have to since I work in a classified area. THERE IS NO INTERNET. Why the would I copy and paste for this test? I deployed software I wrote off the top of my head in the field and it works well. I could improve my online code problem skills as I did not practice for this but I never cheated. Flawed system. Don't waste your time! Bad business model
