The process was straightforward, but the technical interview itself was challenging due to a lack of context. The interview was conducted by the CTO, and I was asked to complete a coding task without clear requirements. When I asked clarifying questions, the responses were minimal and at times dismissive. The interaction felt rushed, and there was little opportunity for a collaborative discussion, which made it difficult to demonstrate problem-solving effectively.
What Could Be Improved:
Providing clearer problem context and fostering a more collaborative and engaging interview environment would significantly improve the candidate experience. Interviews should reflect how teams work together, and this interaction felt more one-sided than expected.
Advice to Management:
Ensure interviewers—regardless of level—are aligned on delivering a professional and constructive experience. Candidates are evaluating the company as well, and the tone and engagement during interviews leave a lasting impression.
