Apexon Software Engineer interview experience

Before interviewing, I explicitly stated the compensation amount I was looking for, so the expectations weren’t hidden.

When it came time for salary discussion, they told me they couldn’t match that number. What surprised me was the timing and how I only got the feedback after following up for about a week.

Even without an offer, I didn’t feel like the interviews themselves were combative. The main friction for me was the gap between what I needed and what they could provide, and the longer wait for clarity after salary discussion.
