Summary: Unprofessional, Impractical. Not worth it at all.

I applied for a role in Germany (or the EU).

Pros: None seen as of now, other than maybe possibilities of remote work.

Interview (45 minutes):

• The first interview call was canceled 11 minutes before the meeting's start time.
• The rescheduled interview call was also postponed by 30 minutes when I got an email 13 minutes before the meeting's start time.
• Intro call had random 7-8 technical questions out of the blue:
  • Algorithm-based questions
  • Difference in super and super()
  • Difference in stub and mock
  • Definition of rate limiting
  • Meaning of ||= etc.

I answered all of them correctly, except maybe one algorithm-based question. They did not even tell me if the interviewer was a recruiter or from the technical team, as responses to technical questions vary according to the expertise of the interviewer. The interviewer was reading and then marking notes/flags specifically when these tech questions were being answered, in such a fashion that it seemed he was given sample answers to those questions.

After rescheduling twice and at least involving 10 days just between the first call(s), I got an email the next day that they are not proceeding (of course, like many other companies which do not state the reasons which otherwise could help candidates).
