I had a very negative experience during the final stage of the interview process for a Software Engineer role. The initial interviews with the recruiter and the pair programming session were conducted professionally and went well. However, the interview with the Hiring Manager was appalling. Lack of Punctuality & Preparation: The interviewer joined the call a few minutes late. She began by stating that the goal of the interview was an "evaluation of whether I could fit her team or some other team," which immediately gave the impression that she was unfamiliar with my profile or the stated role requirements. Lack of Engagement: After asking me to walk through my 15 years of experience (which I did, focusing on my last three companies), the interviewer appeared completely uninterested. The entire conversation lasted only 25 minutes. Abrupt Conclusion: She quickly closed the interview, and I received an automated rejection email just ten minutes later. In 15 years of my career, I have never experienced such a humiliating and highly disrespectful lack of respect for my time as a professional. If a candidate’s profile is not suitable, the process should be stopped earlier, before wasting their time and the company's resources on unnecessary interview slots. This process reflects poorly on the company's respect for candidates. I will even evaluate closing my account as a customer ad I don't want to have anything to do with companies like this.

O processo correu ao longo de 4 semanas consistindo em: Entrevista com a recrutadora, a partir daí todas as entrevistas são em Inglês sendo: Pair Programming e System Design. Uma terceira entrevista com o Hiring Manager acontece caso passe das etapas técnicas As primeiras 2 entrevistas foram bacanas com retorno rápido (dia seguinte) no entanto a última entrevista que acabei por não passar demorou quase 1 semana para receber o retorno e a recrutadora só deu retorno após o envio de um email pedindo feedback e ainda assim acabou por não dar nenhuma avaliação de qual foi minha falha na avaliação.
