I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Torre (Bogota, Cundinamarca) in Jan 2020
Interview
First I was contacted via Torre, I was having an interview with CEO but then suddenly that was changed to have first an interview with the CTO
Interview with the CTO: red flags appeared in the first moment of the interview, his face and expression were like a robot one (a bad robot), -_- like this all the interview. After some normal tech questions, the next step was to build something with their API
On this stage, I was trying to understand the API but no further instructions on how to work with it, I wrote to CTO via chat to ask for something but no too much info I was given, so I just quit
The technical interview was mostly focused on testing attention to detail and reasoning. A take-home project follows if you are successful with the first technical interview. The final step of the interview involves a chat with Torre's CEO, but before that, you will have to pass a second technical interview that tries to assess your knowledge of common web development technologies.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Torre
Interview
Ridiculous. Something that I've never seen before. A test of abstract reasoning quite difficult to pass in the stipulated time. A web design test that does not measure at all the capabilities of a good programmer, especially a full-stack web developer, and disastrous feedback capable of discouraging any candidate without enough experience to assume to understand how the industry works.
Annoying emails about how to use their platform and it would seem as if the selection processes were designed to somehow test their own platform.
Human resources personnel with no experience evaluating results and generally a very bad experience.
While other companies ask about algorithms and data structures, these guys ask non sense tests.
