Thank you for the opportunity to go through your interview process. Over three weeks, I completed one initial screening, two technical rounds, and a live coding session. While the coding challenge was introduced as non-production-ready, later sessions contradicted that by emphasizing real-world scenarios and specific implementation preferences—making the guidance unclear and inconsistent. I also received no feedback from interviewers, which made it difficult to gauge progress or improve. The recruiter shared that the client is very particular and often struggles to fill the role, with similar feedback coming from other applicants. If the expectation is a “perfect” software engineer, perhaps offshoring with a limited budget isn’t aligned with those expectations. Clearer communication and more realistic standards would help avoid wasting time for both parties
