I applied for the Software Developer position and was contacted by the recruiter for an initial discussion. The interview process consisted of an HR screening followed by a technical interview with the hiring manager and development team. The interview focused on my experience with software development, problem-solving skills, project experience, and technical knowledge. The atmosphere was professional and friendly, and I was given the opportunity to ask questions about the role and company. The entire process took approximately two weeks from the first contact to the final outcome.

Reached the final on-site stage, which included a technical interview and a planned meeting with the CTO. The recruiting process up to that point was positive—the recruiter was responsive and professional, and both engineers I met during earlier rounds were approachable and respectful. However, the on-site experience was inconsistent with expectations. The technical interview was intended to be conducted with an engineer, followed by a separate discussion with the CTO. Instead, the CTO joined midway through the technical session, appeared disengaged, and did not participate in the initial introduction. During the exercise, I made a minor syntax error; although the overall approach and solution were optimal, I was advised to use AI tools to explore alternatives. When I referenced the planned follow-up conversation, I was informed that there would be no separate meeting, and the interview was concluded abruptly with general advice to continue practicing. Overall, the experience felt disjointed and somewhat unprofessional, particularly given the lack of structure and deviation from the communicated interview process.
