Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en HeliosX Group en ago 2024
Entrevista
Had a first call with a recruiter who asked some basic questions about past experiences and then got invited for a technical round with one of their leads where I got asked questions around turning a monolith application into a microservices based one and usual questions about favourite project I have worked on etc.
Despite replying exhaustively to every question I got asked, I got rejected. It was pretty weird as the feedback I received sounded quite positive and apparently the interviewer was "happy with my replies", so receiving a rejection was surprising.

Entrevista
The interviews were fairly easy, and everything went well, but I got rejected based on vibes. The process is pretty thorough and focuses on every aspect of being a software engineer, not only technical bits.

Entrevista
- Screening interview
- Take home technical test
- Technical Interview - Code review of take home with live coding + system design sections all linked to the same scenario
Take home test was to create a set of APIs in Java for a set of pre-defined calls. It is described as taking 2-3 hours. I took this and was told they were expecting more detail so be prepared to spend extra time here.
Technical interview started with a discussion of the code from the take home test, followed by expanding the code to handle some more advanced scenarios. I kept getting told pseudocode was okay but then also got asked to write the code after pseudo-coding it.
System design was very sparse on details/requirements even when prompted for more. Its very open ended and I'm not really sure what they were after.
