Interview
Fui abordado pelo recruiter no linkedin.
Não houve muita conversa, já fomos logo marcando a primeira etapa que era um code assessment. Nas trocas de email haviam vários guias e orientações sobre o que esperar.
Não me lembro exatamente se eram 2 ou 3 perguntas, e se o tempo era de 60 ou 90 minutos.
