Entrevista
The interview questions were highly situational and focused on specifics from your experience. It was disheartening though for a few reasons. After the first question, which was a vague “give me an overview of your work history” I was then told that there was limited time and I may be interrupted to ensure time to get through all necessary data points. After that I tried to keep my answers high level and succinct, but was then told by the interviewer I was being vague in my answers. Had he never commented on my first answer I would have answered normally and not tried to limit my answers. Knowing the interview hadn’t gone well and not expecting a follow up, I was very disappointed to get an email from the recruiter that stated “we understand you may want feedback about the interview. We do not provide that feedback”. That shows the true character of this company. I’m not disappointed now.

Phone screen, 5 1 hour interviews for loop
Each hour was dedicated to 2 LPs. System design was more collaborative than i anticipated which was a pleasant surprise. The phone screen mostly focused on my previous experiences

The interview process is straightforward but intense.
First interview was with another Software Dev Manager in the same team. After that the famous loop interview where I had to take 5 interviews in a row over two days ( using paid holidays at work ). Recruiter gave a lot of information about possible questions and helped with materials. However, I had to use same stories few times as the different interviewers asked same questions few times.
Everything is okay, I had a good time during the interviews and it was a good exercise. However, I simply do not understand why they have to call to reject? I am not a customer to be obsessed with. A straight cut rejection via email works better than taking time out of my busy schedule.
If they used this time to share some feedback, that would be useful. If they do not share any reason why I have to continue formal small talk just to get the rejection on my face?

A time you were driving toward a goal and realized more than halfway in that it may not be the best goal.
Had 1 round of System design interview. I thought the interview went ok, if not bad, it went decently well. Received a rejection response, while asking to apply 6 months later.
