I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at intive (Córdoba) in Oct 2023
Interview
The process is rather clear; you get one meeting with HR, a technical interview, and then an interview with a manager for the team you would collaborate with. Communication is constant and there is not too much time between steps.
