I applied online. The process took 1 week.

I had a 30-minute phone call with a recruiter a few days after I submitted my application. The recruiter was very efficient, friendly, and professional. She quickly scheduled a 1-hour video call with the hiring manager, the manager of their Item Management team. During the call, the manager asked me about:

• My experience and background in general.
• An example showing that I mentored a coworker.
• A situation where I reacted to a constructive suggestion.
• An example showing that I proposed a solution to a problem.
• A situation where I disagreed with a coworker.

The next business day after the call, I received the rejection email. The team's feedback was:

• "We have decided not to proceed with your candidacy and will be moving forward with a small group for this opportunity."
• "There is a focus on more extensive technical experience with Rust and less so in C programming."

The first point doesn't make any sense: if they'd like to stay small, why did they hire? The second point is baseless and arbitrary: the manager didn't ask me anything about my technical skills, but drew a conclusion that my Rust skills are underqualified simply because I use C for a longer time. Apparently, the manager of the Item Management team is incompetent and unable to evaluate candidates' technical background. Working with such a manager wouldn't be beneficial to an engineer.

The questions covered experience and background in general. There was an example showing that I mentored a coworker. Another was a situation where I reacted to a constructive suggestion. There was an example showing that I proposed a solution to a problem. Finally, there was a situation where I disagreed with a coworker.
