3 stages, coding task and technical interview. HR gave me a lot of information about the company and projects they are working on. Technical interviewer was polite and interesting to talk with
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AgileEngine (Buenos Aires) in Mar 2022
Interview
1. Touch base with HR, preety good meeting, not much knowledge about the job description
2. Leet Code exercise, absolutely no way that determines that I know how to program, so it's already a sign of an "old school" company
3. Technical interview, preety standard, it was good.
4. Another HR interview to negotiate salary. This is where everything started to crumble, I came into the process with very clear salary expectations, they tried to cut my request by 30%, then they tried to cut it by 5% and after confirmation in the meeting, the tried to cut it by 15%, negotiations were respectful, but it was basically retrading after I had already invested hours in this interview process. The first comment I got from the HR representative what that I had gotten the best score in a technical interview that he had ever seen. All 9s and 10s.
5. Supposed client interview ended up being a surprise technical interview with a member of the team, it went well.
6. The team went with another engineer, I got absolutely no feedback and was offered a position in a horrible project.
