Process

I had three rounds of interview. First was a screening call with HR, and it went lovely. On the second round, it was a live coding session, and the questions were too easy for a senior level.

On the last round I had, I interviewed with the engineering manager, who had his background in front-end development and was not qualified to evaluate a back-end developer. He had a weird obsession with using a specific framework for tasks. He was not looking for a good engineer, but an engineer who uses the exact same frameworks they were using.
