The recruitment process is excessively long and completely lacks human contact. Moving through numerous anonymous stages without a proper interview makes it impossible to evaluate the opportunity effectively. The company needs to introduce real interaction much earlier in their hiring pipeline.

A high volume of basic school and college-level academic questions during the initial stage.

This was one of the strangest interviews I have experienced, if one can call this an interview at all. After submitting my application, I was sent a written "interview" with about 20 questions, each one probably needing a short essay as a response. I found a lot of these questions to be completely irrelevant to the job position. Like questions about how did I do in school at various subjects and what sort of grades did I have. As I finished school more than 20 years ago, I fail to see how answers to these questions would say anything about my current abilities. I concluded that this is basically a huge amount of bureaucratic paperwork that I would need to go through, which probably reflects the amount of bureaucracy in the company as a whole. I concluded that I really don't want to be part of such a company. So I pulled my application.

How did you fare in high school mathematics, physical sciences and computing? What sort of high school student were you? Which degree and university did you choose, and why?
Written interview including high school performance. After that, I took an online assessment (coding) and a personality test. The recruiter sent me an email about arranging the first person-to-person interview. But after an hour, I received a rejection email.

As we all know, the interview process can feel long from the moment you get that first email. I completed the text interview, the coding tests, and the problem-solving assessments 🤔. Interesting or not — you decide. The interviews with the team were pleasant; I guess it depends, but mine were 3/3 positive experiences. I didn’t get an offer, but I’m thinking of applying again in six months..

To be honest, I thought it would be more like an architectural interview where I’d be drawing app structures on a whiteboard. But instead, it was more along the lines of: Tell me about your projects, your achievements, your goals. What would you do in this situation? Why do you use this instead of that? What would you do differently now?
