I applied online. I interviewed at VirtualiSurg (São Paulo, São Paulo)
Interview
O processo seletivo incluiu um desafio prático bem alinhado às responsabilidades da função, proporcionando uma boa oportunidade para demonstrar proficiência técnica de forma clara e consistente. Além disso, foram conduzidas entrevistas técnicas bem estruturadas, com perguntas relevantes sobre orientação a objetos, algoritmos e resolução de problemas em cenários hipotéticos.

Question 1
Descreva em quais situações é apropriado utilizar os métodos Update, FixedUpdate e LateUpdate na Unity Engine.
The worst recruitment process I’ve been in my life, and that’s saying a lot.
Initial HR call tells me their process will take at most 3 to 4 weeks. Quickly followed by a tremendously complex take-home assignment that requires stuff that the company itself doesn’t even use in their own products. The assignment is so complex that you’re given 2 weeks to do it, and even then I think that’s very little.
Despite that, I deliver in a week and a half and from here things start going downhill. They take 2 weeks - more than I took to make the thing - just to review it. Then I suddenly have to talk to the CTO now, which will only be available next week, and after her meeting she notifies me the CEO ALSO wants a call so I wait another week for his schedule to clear up, just to have it happen 4 more times, each one postponing the meeting a week further ahead. When I finally get to talk to the person he’s not even paying attention and keeps staring away the screen, complete rudeness. After this trainwreck of an interview, the CEO promises a feedback until Friday at most and surprise surprise, that obviously never happened.
At this moment, I have contact with borh HR and the CEO's secretary and neither seems too keen on keeping me updating. I wait twice the amount of the CEO himself promised me on an answer until I follow up asking for an update, just to be told in response that they don’t actually have the secured funds to hire new people! So it seems the norm there is to shoot first, ask questions later, since they’re completely willing to leave complete strangers on hold for months while they actually can’t hire you because they have no money to pay you!

Question 1
Several in-depth technical questions regarding my role and an absurdly needlessly complex take-home assignment that requires mostly skills that aren’t even remotely relevant to the job
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at VirtualiSurg (Paris)
Interview
- 20 minute introductory interview with Head of Design (visio)
- Small interview + design challenge briefing with a senior designer (visio)
- Fianl interview with CTO and Head of HR (visio)
Then they scheduled another final physical interview with CEO which we rescheduled due to circumstances.
The day of the final interview CEO emails me to say he's not available and asks to postpone so I ask his next availability.
No response for a week and counting.
I wish they had more respect for their candidates who had to spend time and resources preparing for their interviews and tech challenge.
