Process
I had two phone screens involving coding and a resume review.
I proceeded to the final round, which involved speaking with the team manager.
This was the worst experience of my life. The manager kept asking questions completely unrelated to my job description and, therefore, my area of expertise.
A couple of months later, after numerous follow-ups, they withdrew my application. Ridiculous!
