​I am writing to provide highly critical feedback regarding a completely disorganized and unprofessional candidate experience. ​First, after my initial interview with the Hiring Manager, the parameters of the role were suddenly shifted. I was told the full-time position was no longer an option and was pressured to pivot and apply for a contract role instead. Despite this frustrating bait-and-switch, I agreed to proceed in good faith. ​Second, after completing the full, demanding interview loop and performing exceptionally well, I was ultimately rejected due to an apparent misunderstanding of my visa status. I explicitly stated multiple times from the very beginning that I do not require sponsorship. ​Moving the goalposts mid-process and then rejecting a candidate at the final stage over an administrative fact that was clarified upfront indicates a severe lack of internal communication and disrespectful management. This process wasted hours of my time under false pretenses. I will never consider this organization for future opportunities.

Positive experience with friendly interviewers. Moderate to difficult behavioral and technical questions followed by coding challenges. 90% went well but failed on the last coding challenge task. I guess with today's market conditions that was a breaking point not to extend an offer.

Interview with recruiter, everything smoothly. Second interview was technical, I solved all the code, but I got rejected. Pretty much, I felt a lack of structure and it should have a ghost to have a second thought. That way the interviewer do not favor any friend to be hired.
