Colloquio
By far, the most thoughtful company I had an interview process with.
Unfortunately , I didn't make it, but they actually took the time to schedule a 15' call with me to give me feedback on the whole process. Nobody does that, and for that, I am very grateful to this company.
The first interview was with the recruiter, lasted 30', and included a few technical questions.
The second interview was technical and lasted one hour. This was a conversation with a technical leader asking me questions.

Colloquio
I had remote interviews (LATAM) directly with the company's recruiter. There were four stages in total: a 15-minute welcome call, a take-home assignment (given a few days to complete, but I finished it in a couple of hours), a one-hour technical interview, and a half-hour cultural fit interview. The take-home assignment was typical and not too challenging, involving database structure, reading statistics, and a few backend questions. The technical interview left a very positive impression. The Technical Director was genuinely knowledgeable and impressive. It was one of those rare instances where I felt eager to work not just on the project but under the guidance of that specific person. The questions were of high quality, and the discussions were engaging. After this round, I received "very positive feedback." However, the behavioral interview didn't go as well for me. Standard questions for such interviews were asked, but I sensed some stiffness from the CTO's side. He cut me off during my last answers, saying, "That's enough; we're running out of time, and I need to go to another meeting." Perhaps I should have chosen a different day of the week (it was a Friday) for this interview. In any case, I gained valuable experience, especially from the technical interview. It was my first experience with a behavioral interview, and it made me aware of my weaknesses and what I need to work on. I will be actively monitoring job listings to better prepare myself if a similar opportunity arises again.
