IndiaPosted Aug 2020 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I was approached by a recruiter on LinkedIn and filled out an initial form.

I was then told I’d have a short telephonic introductory call, but the call ended up happening on Zoom with two managers and ran much longer than expected.

The vibe wasn’t great: both interviewers seemed unwilling to go back and forth, and they kept pushing me on areas that I didn’t feel matched my background. Even when I asked for requirements during design questions, I didn’t get much clarity back.

Even though the company had a good public reputation, the experience felt toxic to me in practice. I didn’t get an offer, and the biggest surprise was how poorly the interview matched the role
