      Senior Backend Engineer Interview

      6 Sept 2023

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mews in July 2023

      Interview

      The recruiting process started well: 3 interviews + 1 tech task. The first one was with the HR team: basic questions about my experience/why I've decided to change my current company/etc. The second one was with the CTO: the same set of questions but with a bit of tech background. Then they gave a technical task, which should be very similar to smth that backend engineers should be facing - so no sort algorithms :) Then an interview with the team you would be working with: describe the solution of the task, experience and software engineer best practices. I felt that I had left a very good opinion, however, at the final step I got a rejection of my application. It's totally fine, but when it comes to the feedback session with HR (they've mentioned it is a standard part of the recruiting process) they ignored me and I didn't receive any response. I was trying to contact them for several weeks but without any success - that really left a pretty bad opinion, cause it looks like after rejection/completion of the recruiting process, no one cares about you. I've spent a lot of time and effort on these interviews and of course, I was eager to get feedback on why I got the rejection.
