Lead Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - South Africa
Process
Initial call with HR
Design interview
The interview was fairly simple, with a use case discussion. The interviewer seemed impressed, and overall, the time spent was very positive.
After the design interview, I received a rejection letter without an explanation of the reason.
It was a bit strange, as they had initially explained I still had a few more interview stages to complete, but they did not proceed with my application.
