Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso On nel mese di nov 2023
Colloquio
Lovely people, and enjoyable interviews but the whole process was very off.
Got contacted by the recruiter and started with a 30-min intro call. Although I no longer use the tech On is using, the recruiter suggested me to continue.
Then 45 minutes with the hiring manager. He ran out of questions after 20 minutes but I guess we both felt comfortable and happy with each other. Once again, he mentioned they don't care about the language as much and wanted me to proceed.
Then it was a 90-minute live coding with two engineers. I chose to use the language I currently focus on instead of my previous main language (which On is using now). The interview went rather smoothly and the interviewers were super helpful and friendly, I felt like they could be great teammates to work with. However, I did say that I'm only willing to switch back to the previous tech stack if the offer is irresistible.
After a week of waiting, another HR contacted me on a Thursday to book a quick call the Tuesday after. With another 5 days of waiting, she called me for 3 minutes telling me they wanted someone willing to code in their current language and rejected me.
I simply do not understand why they insisted on carrying on with the process even if I asked many times about the tech stack and, more importantly, for booking an appointment of a 3-minute-worth rejection call with a 5-day gap (as if they were waiting for someone first?).

I had a horrible interview process. I found the company to be quite unproffesional, disorganized, and untimely. Employees I spoke to were very kind and friendly. It seems they need more staff across all departments.
