Backend Developer Interview Experience - Amsterdam, Netherlands
Process
After the first two interview rounds, they sent me another invitation for four additional rounds, scheduled over two days, with almost five more hours of interviews.
In the first round, even though they said the interviewer was supposed to guide me, there was no guidance at all. Most of the conversation felt more like belittling me.
I decided not to continue and withdrew from the process. It honestly wasn't a fair interview at all.
Questions
In the first interview, most of the questions focused on my work experience and salary expectations.
The next two technical interviews were online coding sessions on the HackerRank platform.
