I interviewed for the position of Senior Software Developer - Natural Application Integration OS (Adabas & Natural). From the outset, the hiring manager expressed surprise that my CV had been shortlisted, as it did not reflect experience with C/C++. I clarified that the job description did not specifically require C/C++ but focused on middleware services to integrate with the platform, which seemed to address his concerns. He proceeded to ask several technical questions and agreed to arrange a second technical interview with a senior developer, who was on vacation at the time. The interview was initially scheduled for the day following the developer’s return, but I requested a reschedule, which was accommodated for the next working day. However, two hours before the rescheduled interview, I received a rejection email stating that another candidate had been selected and offered the position. This was both disappointing and felt unfair, as my skills were not fully evaluated during the process.

Got a call from consultancy. Attended the interview on a weekend. There were initial 2 rounds of interview, the first round was coding I have answered all the question and the panel was happy with all answers. Second round worst person has encountered as it was already late evening he simply asked about me and told me to leave for the day without asking any question, I am shocked. Such a stupid process.
