The overall interview process is frustrating. You dive directly into a technical interview with a software developer, and it also asks questions about leadership principles. There are no HR representatives present during the interview. The interviewer seemed tired and didn't fully listen to my responses, simply saying 'okay' before switching to the technical interview.
They expect you to bring at least 10 prepared stories, requiring advance preparation. However, it often feels like this preparation doesn't matter, as the outcome can depend on luck and the interviewer's disposition on the day.
I was asked a very simple technical coding question and felt I answered it well, but I questioned the simplicity of the technical question asked. Following the interview, they did not provide feedback until I inquired. They informed me of my rejection and stated that I should have received an email notification, which I have not.
