Colloquio
Interviewer's behaviour were very implicit, questions were not understandable. And they were interrupting a lot. They provided me 3 options before the interview:
1- I will fix a code having bugs which they have provided.
2- I will demo an application I implemented before.
3- I will give a training session for any software product.
I choice the third one and shared the product name before the interview. On the interview, just after 1 minute I started to explain one the interviewers gave such a response "No no no I do not want to see it, this is too complicated, it has been very long since I have seen a vim editor, please close this I do not want to see it.".
The other interviewer asked me to pick the option 1 and repeat the interview again 2 days later. And this second interview was even worse, interviewer was very implicit, it was very difficult for me to stay calm and polite.

All the questions were related to code they shared.
I had an initial conversation with Talent Acquisition followed by an interview with the hiring manager. Everyone I spoke with was friendly and professional, and the discussions were pleasant throughout.
During the second interview, it became clear that my background and the actual requirements of the role were not as closely aligned as I had initially understood from the job description. While I appreciated the open discussion and transparency, I felt that clearer expectations in the job posting or earlier screening could have saved time for both sides.
Overall, the process was respectful and positive, but I believe a more precise description of the role would have helped ensure a better match from the start.

The interviews focused mainly on my previous experience and technical background.

Colloquio
Applied through Linkedin, they reached out quickly because C# tech stacks are all fit.
30 mins HR general talk, then take home assignment, you need to run docker to set up your computer environment for the db they crated, then have to implement a standalone application, once finished, push it to docker again so they can run it with docker.
With all those work submitted, rejection letter came in, If you got the same assignment, escape unless you have plenty of time and patience with this bullsh*t, desperate enough to find a job and mentally prepared to get rejected anyway.
cuz after this assignment, there will be coding challenge, and system design , and resume deep dive , at least 3 rounds ahead waiting for you

I had a short call with a hiring manager where we discussed my experience and what I've been doing over the last years. He then also introduced me into the background of why they are looking for someone and gave me space to ask questions. We then had a more technical interview on-site, which was not too hard or theoretical and very close to what was actually required for the project at hand.

Questions about Systems Design, how I would solve specific challenges, and a little coding exercise.
