I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Factored
Interview
The whole process took around 3-4 months, i was contacted by a recruiter that explained everything in the minimal details and answered every question that i had.
In my hiring process i faced a total of 5 interviews, being:
1 - Behavioral interview led by the recruited
2 - Technical Interview led by another Engineer
3 - Seniority Assessment led by another Engineer
In between this interviews my recruiter reached out to me and made a potential offer, later on i had other 2 rounds of interviews with one of Factored's clients being one behavioral and the other a technical/showcase of my skills.
Throughout this whole process Factored was 100% clear regarding expectations, how to prepare for the interviews and did an excellent job on helping me prepare for the interviews with the client. What shines the most about this whole methodology is that Factored took away the pressure of being evaluated by giving me general topics to prepare for each interview (even the 1st technical round and the seniority assessment). This gave me a direction on which topics to refresh my memory on and where to put my focus.
I even remeber complimenting one of my interviewers because it was the most ethical and human approach i've ever had in a hiring process.

Which project have you worked on that you consider one of the most challenging or strategic in your career?
I applied online. I interviewed at Factored (Guatemala City) in Jan 2026
Interview
I submitted my application and CV through their website. Within a few days, I got a reply to schedule an initial interview. This one was about valitating skills, generalities about my experience and familiarity with Data Engineering concepts and technology. The week after, I got a Technical Interview with a couple of coding exercises. Followed by a Seniority Assessment Interview focused on System Design and Data Architecture.
They explained to me the full recruiting process from the start. Everything was very clear and transparent. All the people I met throughout my journey were very kind.
