I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mercado Libre (Buenos Aires) in Jun 2021
Interview
Got contacted by HHRR. Had a general introductory interview. After that, I had a call with the Team Leader of my potential team, we talked about my preview experience and what the was expected from the role.
Following, I had a technical interview with senior members of the team. It consisted of implementing a high-level architecture diagram for a specific use case. We discussed my implementation, choice of databases, several architecture design patterns, languages nature, etc.
I was screened somehow with a background check on their side. They also contacted former superiors and talked about me.
Finally, I had a call with HHRR where they presented the final offer.
