I was contacted by three recruiters. I took the time to prepare for their test, as the evaluation platform differs from the real work environment and tasks. It's worth noting that they don't evaluate a candidate's mastery of their own technology, which I found somewhat disappointing.

I was proposed three different positions, for which they stated I was hand-picked.

The first position was given to someone else (I had two interviews and had not yet taken the test).

The second position involved three interviews and I passed the test. At that point, I had spoken with six different people in the recruitment process. One of them (who knows why?) suddenly decided I "wasn't interested enough in the project." However, everything I did and said contradicted this statement, and I considered it disingenuous. I explained the situation to the recruiter, who responded that I should have "played the game" and lied if necessary. Hypocrisy seems to be common and expected from candidates.

For the third position, after I responded positively, I was told they would get back to me, but they never did. How can you tell someone you specifically chose them for a job because they are a perfect fit and then ghost them?

Overall, I spoke with three recruiters, applied for three different roles, had five interviews, and passed one test. The process lasted approximately three months.

Codility test with four questions and 2 hours to answer.

Regular questions were asked in person. I felt very average. Nothing very positive emerged; it was more like a profiling approach, using the term negatively and including bias.

I also received questions about some technological problems they were facing, in order to extract information from me for a new solution or to validate their own solution.
