No offer

Easy

Negative

United StatesPosted Feb 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I crushed the technical exercise but still got rejected due to perceived mismatch on programming fundamentals and communication style during the screen.

Recruiter and hiring manager — after recruiter outreach, I met the hiring manager.
Technical interview — I solved the algorithm quickly and even helped correct edge-case thinking.
Rejection feedback — they said I didn’t know Python and needed too much assistance, which felt inconsistent with how I performed; I suspected they conflated me with another candidate/interviewer context. Outcome: No offer; even a strong coding performance can be overturned by perceived language/assistance signals.
