I was invited to an interview where the invite mentioned 3 interviewers, but only 1 person showed up. The interview felt rushed, overly technical, and not conversational. I was interrupted often and didn’t get a chance to explain my work fully.
The take-home assignment was large for a 2-day deadline. I had already fixed the issue before the interview, but the interviewer didn’t review the updated version or let me show it. My effort wasn’t acknowledged, and I was told it was a “red flag.”
I later received a rejection email saying feedback was discussed with the hiring manager and team — but I had only spoken to one person. That didn’t feel transparent or fair.
Also, it took 2 full weeks to receive a final decision, which made it hard to plan next steps with other opportunities.
I took this process seriously, but I didn’t feel the company showed the same level of care or professionalism.
