Domin Fluid Power interview questions

Take-home tech questions were far too open-ended and could have required a vast effort to complete. These should have been narrowed down, or phrased to clarify that the act of goal selection and time management was part of the expectation. There was a great deal of uncertainty around how much time and effort would be sufficient. I think I spent maybe 5 hours or a bit more, which is a fair bit over the 2-3 hours I would usually allow. In-person tech interview was a good experience, individual team members were polite and engaging and gave me a positive outlook on joining the company. I expected more opportunities to go in-depth to some coding aspects but otherwise appreciated the high-level whiteboarding tasks and felt it was a good match for my background. In-person CEO interview was a very bad experience and left me quite shaken up. He made like an amateur psychologist and persisted in asking intrusive personal questions with a probing and condescending demeanour. I've purged most of this in a 'forget and move on' approach but some of them are noted or paraphrased below. I was rejected on the basis of 'culture fit'. This feedback was formally requested by Randstad (recruitment agency) and is reproduced here on Glassdoor in the hopes it assists someone else.

The interview process was straightforward. I was asked to do a trade test for mechanical aptitude which went well. I didn't get the job as it was given to someone else without them bothering to let me or the agency know. Disgusting behaviour.
