I recently interviewed with Code District, and I’d like to share my experience. The interviewer they assigned had around 3 years of experience — the same as mine. While that isn’t necessarily a problem, it did feel unusual since we were essentially on the same level. The questions throughout the session were heavily focused on databases. While I do have DB knowledge, my primary expertise is in frontend development. The interviewer, being a backend developer, seemed to expect backend-style solutions from me, which felt mismatched with the role I applied for. Another point was the duration — the interview lasted 38 minutes. Typically, if a candidate doesn’t align with expectations, it’s clear within the first 10–15 minutes. Extending the interview unnecessarily wastes both sides’ time. Overall, I found the process disappointing. The mismatch between the role and the questions asked, along with the unnecessarily long duration, made this one of the less professional interviews I’ve attended.
