Colloquio
The process started with an HR screening, followed by three technical interviews, and concluded with a final interview with the Hiring Manager. Overall, the process moved quickly, and each stage felt smooth and well-structured. My performance seemed solid throughout, and the discussions with the interviewers were generally positive and engaging. Despite this, I was ultimately rejected after the final interview.
Interviewer was unclear about role expectations, asked vague questions, provided minimal context about team or projects. Felt rushed, no time for candidate questions. Unprofessional experience, difficult to assess mutual fit.
