Principal Software Engineer Interview Experience - Germany

Process

After applying for their open position, I received a call from their Talent Acquisition Manager. We talked for half an hour.

The Talent Acquisition Manager told me that I have great open-source and K8S experience, which was required for the position. They said that if their Engineers liked my profile, they would invite me to the next interview.

I was invited for the next interview, and it went pretty well. In the end, the Red Hat engineers said I was very well prepared and there was nothing leaving them with hesitancy about having me for the position.

I sent an email thanking them for the opportunity to talk to them and stated that I was waiting for feedback.

After more than two weeks of waiting for feedback, I received a standard rejection email that contradicted everything they had told me during the process/calls.

It's very unpleasant to hear nice "feedback" during the process/calls, be in the dark for weeks waiting for formal feedback, and then receive a nonsensical rejection email.
