United StatesPosted Apr 2020 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for a Software Engineer role and found the process unusually disorganized, which made it feel difficult even though it wasn’t technical.

HR screen (very poor fit for a real evaluation) — I only spoke with HR and the hiring manager across steps that were weeks apart, and the first round felt broad and situational rather than technical.
Manager conversation (no real technical depth) — Questions about my work history and “situations” didn’t test engineering skills.
Outcome decision — I was rejected with a “not a fit” reason despite delays and limited chances to demonstrate technical ability. Outcome: I didn’t move forward; the takeaway was that weak early execution made the whole process feel unreliable.
