The recruitment process was straightforward. The HR team was helpful and kept me informed throughout. I made it to the last stage, where it was down to me and one other candidate. Ultimately, I didn't get the internship.
The recruiter chat was good, and the hiring manager chat was also good. However, the technical interview round was really strange. The interviewers were hyper-focused on random aspects of my last role instead of assessing my full experience and skillset. It felt like a trivia game, asking me to remember the exact implementation of a tiny feature from years ago. It just seemed like they only wanted engineers with the exact same tech stack experience as them, like they were gatekeeping.
I was contacted by two different recruiters about setting up an interview. The interview itself was pretty laid-back and informal, mostly just talking. I didn't get the job, and they didn't give much useful feedback afterward. It was kind of weird that the recruitment team asked me on the phone how I thought the interview went before they told me I didn't get it.
