I had a frustrating experience interviewing with Speedbox. The technical round lasted over an hour, where I answered all questions confidently, explained concepts in depth, and solved the coding problem live while clearly walking through my approach. The interviewer appeared satisfied throughout the discussion. Post interview, HR communicated that the feedback was positive and that only a final round with the CEO was pending. Based on this, I was led to believe I had cleared the technical evaluation. However, after a follow-up, the feedback suddenly changed to a completely different narrative, which did not reflect the actual interview at all. This kind of contradictory communication shows a lack of proper evaluation and poor coordination between the interviewer and HR. It raises serious concerns about how candidates are being assessed and whether decisions are even based on consistent criteria. It felt like a complete waste of time and effort. Advice to candidates: Do not rely on verbal feedback or initial positive signals. The process can change unpredictably, so manage your expectations accordingly. Suggestion to company: Fix internal misalignment and ensure that feedback given to candidates is accurate and consistent. Such experiences negatively impact the company’s credibility.
