Process

Behavioural questions followed by HR screening call and invite to call with 3 developers.

Asked generic questions about my experience; database optimisation, CI/CD platforms, API development, Ansible, FastAPI.

Honestly a very disappointing experience. There were three interviewers, the first was 5 minutes late to the meeting, the other two came within the following 5 minutes, so we kicked off about 10 minutes late.

I was the only one with a camera on, the questions were vey generic. One of the interviewers seemed nice and was polite and respectful. One of them had a bad internet connection and kept cutting out, the other remained muted for he majority due to background noise.

I'm not going to accept an offer for the next stage.
