I applied online. I interviewed at Emma in Dec 2023
Interview
Quite frankly the stupidest recruitment process I've ever been through. No regard whatsoever for the time the candidate is having to take in order to make it to their "recruitment friday".
They asked completely unrelated questions to the role that I was applying for. Like ideas for marketing campaigns and if I were to start a business what would it be. I was applying for a role within the product development team.
At the end they told me they wouldn't go through with my application because the role was, and I quote, "an unstructured role and we aren't able to provide you with the team and resources you would need". That makes no sense and none of that was in the job description. Had that been in it, I would have most definitely NOT applied in the first place.
When I asked about their decision making process and their product developement process (which is completely pertinent to the role that I was applying for) the guy LITERALLY said "we just figure it out as we go".
Save your time and don't even bother to apply, unless you're looking for that kind of chaotic, unstructured, pretentious, and underpaid environment.
I will say, even though the process was exhausting and felt like a complete waste of my time, the people that interviewed me (5 total) were friendly enough that I wouldn't say the overall experience was terrible.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What's the angle between the hands of an analog clock when the time is 3:15? (Yes, they seriously asked that)
Lots of consulting-type questions. I suggest preparing for this to get used to the line of questioning. Sample types: How many ping pong balls can fit in a Boeing airplane? What is x multiplied by x? The goal is not to have a correct answer, but for them to understand your line of thinking
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Emma (Lisbon, Lisbon District)
Interview
wasted time, too much details on the step 1 of the pre-interview process, useless tasks that proves basically nothing, Anyway all was solved by me and they never replied even though my experience fit ideally to their profile.

el proceso es innecesariamente tedioso y complicado, dura todo un día que tienes que perder de trabajo. te hacen preguntas que no tienen absolutamente nada que ver con el puesto.
