I recently participated in the interview process for a Senior .NET Engineer position. I approached the interview professionally and answered all questions based on my real-world experience. However, I was surprised and disappointed to receive feedback that indirectly questioned my integrity — something I strongly deny. During the call, I experienced platform lag, which made it difficult to hear some questions clearly — an issue I pointed out during the interview. At times, I had to glance away due to notifications from my current job, but I never used any external tools or attempted to cheat in any way. I even closed all browser tabs, as requested by the interviewer. I find it unfair and unprofessional to make assumptions about a candidate's honesty without solid evidence, especially when I was transparent about the topics I was less familiar with. It was also confusing to hear concerns about my performance when the interview ran nearly 20 minutes over the scheduled time — which I took as a sign of interest. I respectfully encourage the company to review its evaluation approach and ensure that feedback is objective, specific, and fair. Mutual respect and transparency should be the foundation of any hiring process.

The interviews lasted about three hours in total and were well structured. The interviewer was professional and clear in communication. The process included two technical coding rounds followed by a final round with the hiring manager to discuss experience and expectations.
