The process started with a recruiter screening, followed by multiple technical rounds. Based on the communication I received beforehand, I expected the interviews to focus more heavily on fundamental software engineering concepts and hands-on development experience. However, the technical rounds leaned significantly toward architecture and system design discussions that felt more aligned with senior-level or architect-level expectations. The gap between the described interview focus and the actual questions was noticeable. I would recommend the recruiting team provide clearer guidance in advance about the depth and type of questions candidates should prepare for, especially if the role expects strong system design and large-scale architecture knowledge. Communication timing around scheduling and expectations could also be improved to ensure candidates feel prepared and aligned going into the interviews. Overall, the interviewers themselves were professional and knowledgeable, but clearer expectation-setting would make the process much stronger and less misleading for candidates.
