Interview
I applied on LinkedIn and received a response within 2–3 days. After completing a HackerRank test, I was invited to the first interview.
The recruiter initially mentioned we would discuss 2–3 projects, but in the actual interview I only had the chance to cover one. The interviewer moved quickly through questions, and the interview felt shorter and more rushed than expected. Overall, I didn’t get the chance to showcase my full experience.
The interview scheduling process felt unfair. I was scheduled for a final interview weeks in advance, prepared thoroughly, and then suddenly told the position was already filled.
Instead of interviewing all shortlisted candidates before making a final decision, they closed the role early, which left me with wasted preparation time and a poor candidate experience.
It felt like timing, not qualifications, decided my fate — very frustrating as a candidate.
