I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at John Deere (Indaiatuba) in Sep 2025
Interview
Three interviewers on the time period of an hour, consisting on 30 minutes of a hacker rank exercise and 30 minutes of a system design problem. One of the guys was a gentleman, real nice guy, even with me not performing good on the interview, he was very respectful. That should be standard behavior, but often is not. It is a very short time to do all that is requested.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
First exercise was a hacker rank challenge where you should pick an array of integers and print another array based on the indexes that contain numbers which summed up, have a target result. (Target result is previously provided). For instance, array [1, 5 , 16, 4, 7] and target 9. You should print [1, 3]. Also, print just the first positive finding, and an empty array if no sum matches target. Also, give examples of testing for your solution.
System design exercise, where you should design the migration of a client that has a on premises infrastructure, with a monolith application, to the cloud. It should be a fast and secure experience. It should have several services and you should design a proper workflow.

Telephone Round - Focus is on basics. Applied for a backend position. 20 minute discussion. The questions started from the previous projects and fundamental questions from them. Hard stop at 20 minutes in between the discussion
2 rounds
One pure technical one managerial fairly easy rounds
Easy question such as pattern printing or two sum they usually avoid hard dsa question such as graph dp
Be clear with words that’s it
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at John Deere
Interview
The interviewer was looking for a full-stack developer, but they shortlisted me despite my experience being only in frontend development. He asked some questions about backend, then abruptly said they were looking for someone with both frontend and backend experience, and ended the call. If that was the requirement, they shouldn't have shortlisted me for the interview in the first place. Overall a very unprofessional experience
