I appreciated the opportunity to interview with Starling and found the overall process to be well-organised. However, I was disappointed with how the final stage was handled. While the earlier stages were clear and professional, the last interview felt somewhat one-sided. The questions were mostly open-ended, and although I gave technically accurate answers, even going beyond what was asked at times, I felt the feedback I received didn’t fully reflect my performance. It seemed that rather than digging deeper or asking follow-up questions, assumptions were made based on delivery or interpretation rather than technical correctness. Additionally, there didn’t seem to be a genuine effort from the final interviewers to get to know me beyond the technical side. Cultural fit is important, and I was surprised that I wasn’t asked any questions to assess this properly, despite it being mentioned in the feedback. Overall, I left the process feeling that the evaluation was more subjective than I had expected. I still respect the company and its mission, but I believe the interview experience could be improved, particularly in terms of fairness and communication at the final stage.
