Interview
Took 5 rounds just to be told that I don't have as much experience compare to the other candidate. One round was AFTER the panel. Do you really need that many round to tell you I don't has as much experience? Should be pretty clear on the resume.

condescending people; holier than thou attitude; unorganized and uninterested interviewers; didn't feel welcome, and that they had already made up their mind. Very arrogant, and they didnt seem like they would be good people to work with.
