I applied through another source. The process took two weeks.

Despite the screening call seemingly going very well, and my experience closely matching the job spec, I received negative feedback or areas of improvement based on a series of assumptions that the interviewer made. These assumptions were made around topics that the interviewer did not actually ask me about, which is a very strange way to handle things. They also decided to blatantly twist my words and decide that I generally struggle with collaboration, after I spoke about a recent cross-functional challenge that I overcame. I don't usually write reviews, but I felt it necessary to flag this, as the first-stage interview process is unfortunately being run by people who have little engineering experience or who have a personal bias.

How do you measure success?
