A recruiter found me on social media and invited me for a first interview about values with him. The next step was a talk with a senior engineering manager. The last step I went through was an interview and pair programming with a senior software engineer. I presume I did not match the requirements. That's fine. However, I presume this was the outcome because they never returned any feedback for months, even though they said they would no matter the result. Candidates prepare for interviews; many pause their current tasks to allocate time and are simply ignored if rejected. A place that positions itself as feedback-driven, states at the beginning that it will return feedback regardless of the outcome, and then fails to provide any to rejected candidates, is probably not a good place to work.
General questions, based on the STAR methodology, covered past experiences, solved conflicts, and so on.
Tech questions involved architecture and software skills.
Pair programming involved a partially done code that needed to be improved as the interviewer presented new challenges.
