Software Engineer Interview Experience - Romania

Process

I applied online in 2017 in Berlin.

I was requested to create an account, attach a resume, and answer many questions. This whole process took about 3 hours.

After applying, all I received was radio silence. I connected with a recruiter on LinkedIn and asked if she could help me. Still, radio silence.

Two years later, a recruiter from Poland contacted me, pretending that I had spoken with her a while back. This was a false statement, but I chose to see what she wanted. She had an open position in Prague. I had a phone interview with her, and she failed to answer my questions.

I received an offline coding test. I was on a business trip and could not complete it within a week. No deadline was specified initially, though later that week, I started getting notifications that I had 3 days left to finish the code.

This whole experience seemed like a lack of respect for me, so I spammed them.
