I applied online.

There are many negative reviews online regarding the company and their interview process, and I would have to say that they are all 100% correct. Unfortunately, it appears that your fate is entirely determined by one small interaction with an inexperienced interviewer. The particular interviewer I had was visually and audibly nervous, to the point where they appeared to struggle in asking what they wanted to say. I am in full support of all engineers taking part in the hiring process, but clearly, they need to be accompanied by someone more senior if they struggle like this. Nonetheless, I attentively answered each question they had, directly and in accordance with the way they asked. Of the one-hour scheduled meeting, we spoke for around 35 minutes until the interviewer told me they had no further questions, and I could ask questions, so I did. The chat appeared to go well, and there was no indication that anything was missed or not clear.

After the meeting, roughly a day later, I received a rejection, essentially telling me that I hadn't given enough detail in my answers. If that were true, why did the interviewer not give me another 25 minutes of their time? If they hadn't gotten enough detail up until that point, they should have made it clear, and I could have used the scheduled time to go into more detail. Naturally, I sent an email querying this, but I have received no response. What a disappointing experience. In all honesty, I would recommend that prospective interviewees need not waste their time in applying.
