En la primera entrevista de screening hablamos todo el tiempo en inglés. Me preguntó sobre relocarme a otro país y sobre mi experiencia en años como desarrollador y como contribuí últimamente, le conté bastante sobre eso pero no pareció serle de mucho interés en comparación con lo que siguió. Luego pasó a hacerme preguntas técnicas. Cosa que no esperaba de una persona de recursos humanos por lo tanto no me había preparado. Hubo una pregunta final sobre idempotencia que no pude responder y al día siguiente me avisaron que no quedé.

Unfortunately, I found the interview process outdated and unnecessarily rigid. The live coding session required me to disable all Copilots and restricted me from performing any Google searches. This lack of flexibility felt unrealistic, as it does not reflect the way modern developers work. Additionally, I was asked to implement a feature using Views/XML, which is considered obsolete by today's standards where Jetpack Compose is the preferred approach for modern Android development. Furthermore, a significant portion of the interview was focused on theoretical questions about concurrency and synchronization, without paying attention to practical problem-solving or my thought process. Finally, during the last 5 minutes, I was asked to write a test, and they even scrutinized the name I chose for the test—an approach that felt overly meticulous and disconnected from actual development priorities. Overall, the interview model felt archaic, seemingly designed for a decade-old landscape rather than the current state of Android development. The emphasis on outdated technologies and theoretical questioning, rather than practical problem-solving and creativity, makes me question whether this approach is suited to evaluating modern Android engineers.
