I was first contacted by a Cape Town recruiter via e-mail. We schedule a first Skype session a couple of days later so the recruiter could explain the opportunity and learn more about my background and willingness to relocate. 1.5 weeks later, two engineers called me and gave me 2 or 3 programming tests that I should answer by writing code in a web "whiteboard". On the same day I got another e-mail from the recruiter congratulating me and asking me to prepare for the on site interviews 2 weeks later. For the on site interview they flew me to São Paulo. This phase is composed of 5 interviews of 45-50 minites duration within a single morning. 3 of the interviews are technical (1 about architecture, 1 about programming and OO design and the last is more heavy in algorithms and data structures), 2 are competency based (how would you handle a given situation, give examples from your experience etc). Overall It was a fair and pleasant process. Most of the engineers were even nicer than they needed to be in this type of interview. The questions are hard but there are zero tricky questions. Considering that they will be paying the costs to relocate the professional to another continent and all, I think the hiring process is fair for the company and for the candidate. After all, who would like to be relocated to another country just to find out the interview did not test or prepare you to handle the job?
