Senior Software Developer Interview Experience - Romania

Process
I went through the first two stages.
The coding part was a bit weird. You would think you did everything right, but then they reject you based on some reason, like a best practice you did not use in your unit test, even if you developed a correct solution with concurrency and all!
It seems they try to pick on every single thing not to hire.
My advice: do not waste your time with this interview process.
However, I see this opinion of most people here, and developers still go to interviews, probably because of remote work. Most companies require at least hybrid now.
Questions
Implement load balancer, concurrency, and tests.

Pros: Young company with not much legacy in their systems.
Cons: Rather aggressive employment culture, focusing on KPIs for most, and everything else as a secondary priority.
