I applied through a recruiter.
The recruiter initially reached out with several screening questions and scheduled a one-hour live Android coding interview. I completed all the functional requirements asked by the interviewer within the allotted time. However, the recruiting coordination felt disorganized. In the initial outreach email (sent January 29), the recruiter included a forwarded template message stating that interviews would be paused for the rest of December due to holidays and resume on January 5th. This appeared to be a copy-paste oversight and gave the impression that my application was not reviewed carefully. While the technical interviewer was professional and the problem was reasonable, the overall candidate experience felt inconsistent. I would recommend more attention to detail in recruiter communication to improve the candidate experience.
