This interview was for a software developer position in Australia. I had an inital 15 minute phone screen interview by a recruiter and then another 30 minute over the teams interview by the same recruitment team. Then there was a technical interview round where there were two developers, one of them who had been there for a decade. This interview was quite an opinionated interview where they quite liked enforcing their opinions about how certain REST APIs etc should be done.
The developer with a decade experience seem to not like frontend development and said there is a new frontend framework everyday and its hard to keep up with them. Personally I see this as a skill issue because if you are in IT you should always try and keep up with some of the latest things in tech. This developer also seemed to have a preferance to C# when I said I like another java based programming language better. Overall this interview felt like they just wanted me to share their opinions about how certain things needed to be done and if I didn't know something I felt like they didn't just think maybe I could just learn it?
They then said at the end of the interview that they would send me a code challenge but never ended up doing so and also after this point I was ghosted. This just seems like poor behaviour when they tell you they will send you a code challenge but never do and also just ghost you as a whole and don't even bother with the outcome of the whole recruitment process as the candidate has spent their valuable time interviewing for a position. The least they can do is inform the candidate they haven't been successful even if they cannot provide direct feedback as to why the candidate has not been successful.
