The process began promisingly: the company reached out proactively and offered an interesting Staff Software Engineer position. I successfully passed the HR screening interview and the technical interview with a tech lead, who immediately communicated a positive outcome.

I would also like to emphasize that the technical interview (live coding) was conducted at a very high level. The interviewer was professional and polite. It was pleasant to communicate and discuss the technical issues in the task I was solving.

However, the process deteriorated rapidly thereafter. After several days of waiting for feedback, I had to follow up myself. Only then did HR inform me that the initial position was already being filled, offering a less suitable alternative instead. I expressed willingness to discuss the proposed position or any other suitable roles, pointing out several interesting vacancies on the company's website.

HR promised to return with details the next day, but this never materialized. My subsequent attempts to make contact (including reaching out to the initial HR contact) were ignored.

I feel disappointed and frustrated that after the company initiated contact and I invested my time in their interview process, communication from HR ceased without explanation. This approach demonstrates a lack of respect for the candidate's time and effort. I hope the company will address and improve its candidate communication process to prevent such situations in the future.
