Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Berlin, Berlin
Process
I contacted the company through an external recruiter. The job was 100% remote and matched my skills. I went through about 5 rounds of interviews, including two live programming technical tests, and ultimately received no feedback of any kind. I didn't even get a rejection; they simply didn't respond to my emails.
It was a very bad experience and a total waste of time.
