Dear Sender,
Thank you for the feedback. You’re right, technical experts who conduct interviews won’t work with you in one team in most cases. We don’t see it being a problem: this step is needed to check your knowledge and hard skills.
The team interview, though, is a necessary step during the hiring process. In your case, it was replaced with the interview with a manager (another step of the process) because we offered you a position for a different team from what had been discussed initially. This change took place during the interview process, and our researchers informed you in advance. If you had passed this stage successfully, the interview with the team would have been the next step.
A bit complicated, we agree, but we wanted to provide all the information for transparency. We appreciate your opinion and hope this review and our clarification can help other candidates.
Good luck with your career!
Yours, Semrush Team
