The initial stages of the interview process were positive — the early conversations felt structured and engaging, and the communication was smooth. However, one of the middle interviews felt unusual, as the interviewer asked very few questions and seemed somewhat disengaged. It wasn’t clear what the purpose of that step was. Later in the process, some stages became repetitive, with the same questions being asked multiple times about my background, as if previous feedback or materials hadn’t been reviewed. This made the experience feel tiring and a bit discouraging. During the final interview, an additional participant joined unexpectedly without prior notice. The tone of that conversation felt unnecessarily tense, with a few remarks that came across as dismissive rather than constructive. There were also several outdated or irrelevant questions about jobs from many years ago. Overall, the final stage felt more like a stress test than a genuine discussion about fit or skills, which left a negative impression about the company’s culture and communication style. I was told to expect feedback within a week, but I never received a response or update.
