Interview
Tuve una primer entrevista con Recursos Humanos, me preguntaron sobre las tecnologías con las que trabaje, hablamos um rato en Inglés, iban a pasar mi CV a la parte técnica pero luego avisaron que fueron por otro lado.
Great interview experience. The interviewers were friendly, professional, and supportive. Whenever I couldn't answer a question, they patiently explained the expected approach and concepts, making the discussion comfortable, informative, and encouraging throughout.
