Overall, the process felt quite disorganized. The initial call with the recruiter went well. She explained the company clearly, asked thoughtful follow-up questions, and the conversation felt collaborative and engaging from both sides. However, the interview with the hiring/engineering manager in Malmö was a very different experience. The discussion felt unstructured and somewhat inconsistent with what had been communicated beforehand. I was told the round would focus mainly on a deep dive into my past experience, but instead, the interviewer presented a problem and shifted heavily into system design and database design questions. I completely understand and expect technical evaluations during an interview process, but this type of assessment is usually better suited for a dedicated technical round where candidates can prepare accordingly. The mismatch between the communicated expectations and the actual interview format made the experience feel confusing and poorly coordinated.

I had a very informative interview with the Talent Partner at Legora. She walked me through the entire interview process, was transparent throughout, and gave me a clear picture of both the engineering team and Legora as a company. Although I didn’t move forward at this time, she suggested we stay connected for future opportunities, which I intend to do.
