We started with an intro to the role, the company, and its different project areas. Then, we did a group exercise where we had to collectively decide on a course of action, considering risks. This was followed by a one-on-one meeting and a technical interview.

Behavioral Technical
It was the usual interview process. First, an introductory phone call, then a meeting with HR to go over my resume and discuss my aspirations and what they offer. Finally, the technical interview. Personally, I think the technical interview should come first, so HR has a better understanding of the candidate's skills and can then make a more informed offer. Anyway, after the technical interview, which I believe went well without major issues and I answered all questions comprehensively based on my background, even showing interest by asking about their stack or technologies. I waited two weeks for feedback, which I had to request myself via email to HR. I never received a direct reply to my email, but instead got a generic message stating there were no open positions matching my profile. No real feedback was provided: whether the technical interview went poorly, if I'm not qualified enough, if they're looking for a more junior role, or if I'm too expensive. Nothing at all.

Technical Behavioral
The interview process had three stages. First, an intro call. Then, a technical situational interview. Lastly, an interview with senior management. The process showed me what the company looks for. I didn't get to ask my questions. I didn't pass the last stage. It took a long time to hear back, and I had to follow up a few times before they told me the decision.

- Could you describe the software architecture of a past project?
