Entrevista
Only made it to the recruiter stage. There was a lot of expectations for the role and they were looking for 4+ years of experience. Was told my salary expectations were too high (again for a 4+ year experience position) and that they we're only able to budget 70-75K. Which was my starting salary in industry with my bonuses and my base salary my second year. Not sure if this just a hiring manager with a delusion or wider company policy but it does not look good and leaves a horrible taste in the mouth.

Interview was not at all what I expected from the job description.
Asked a lot of questions about OOP advantages that seemed related to embedded applications.
Was given a set of questions to answer in a limited time which felt a bit lazy compared to an actual coding challenge.
Never received a rejection, very poor experience.

The interview process was unreasonable. They delved deeply into questions about my work experience at companies where I had signed NDAs, showing no concern for the potential repercussions. Despite having significant experience in other relevant areas, including actual satellite work, they neglected to inquire about those aspects. Although they profess to hire individuals passionate about space technology and care about diversity, my experience and observations of their hiring practices suggest they seek a specific type of candidate that fits a narrow profile.
