I had a really disappointing interview experience and came away feeling that they weren’t seriously looking to hire. Some of the questions felt off. For example, I was asked about transitioning from academia to industry even though I’ve been working in industry for over five years. The interview was supposed to last an hour but wrapped up in about 30 minutes. What bothered me most was that while I was answering a question, the senior engineer started checking his phone, which felt disrespectful and showed a lack of interest. At that point, it was pretty clear to me that the decision had likely already been made. I’ve interviewed with many companies, and this one stood out as particularly unprofessional and a waste of time. For someone with experience, interviews should focus on real skills, judgment, and hands-on experience, not shallow or irrelevant questions. It’s not only me, my friend had the same experience

Recieved a couple of calls and emails after applying. After they expressed interest, I had an online interview with a pannel, then an in-person interview. Recieved a verbal confirmation an offer was going to be given before my actual offer.
