Entrevista
Some basic algorithm questions, a droid knowledge and android coding.
Their interview questions are ridiculously specific and they want you to have experience with their exact frameworks and libraries.
Anyone competent can implement things a few ways with good architecture, and can learn new frameworks quickly on the job or before the interview with heads up, but they want you to have experience with every framework they use specifically, even though they don’t tell you what it is ahead of time or put it in the job description.
There’s so many common frameworks in Android Dev to accomplish the same thing, it’s ridiculous how they evaluate candidates like this.
Ex: “There will be questions on concurrency”…. Performs. Days later “Sorry, we want someone with RxJava experience”.
In short I think they’re testing for the wrong things which is a bad sign. Luckily most of them got laid off and I would have too if I was hired, so fortunately I didn’t get an offer.

My first interview was a zoom meeting where I participated in a live coding exercise. I really enjoyed it and it was good to be doing an interview where I was doing what I might do for a real job.
