There must’ve been a disconnect between my recruiter and the company. They gave the impression that they were happy with my level of experience—I took the time to complete a project that took a couple of days to do to a high quality. However, due to extenuating circumstances there was another interview after the final one. This new interviewer had awful people skills, and I certainly dodged a bullet with this company. It highlighted that the work culture was likely going to be toxic!

Initial call, take home assessment, onsite interview. Process was nice but the final stage was strange. I was rejected for not being experienced enough but it was stupid for them to bring me to the final stage to determine this, especially having proven myself technically capable after they "liked" my assessment. Waste of time and not really much of an interview in the final stage to get to know me better.
