I participated in 3-4 rounds of interviews but ultimately received no follow-up from the company or HR, which was disappointing. There was also a noticeable lack of clarity around the role and its responsibilities—the expectations shared during the process did not align with the original job description. Additionally, the coding assessment was not transparently communicated ahead of time; it involved four separate tests and required video explanations for each solution. During the technical interview, the Principal Engineer seemed overly focused on niche MySQL settings rather than addressing broader, more impactful engineering challenges.
