Interview
The process involved a technical panel that heavily relied on a rigid script rather than an organic engineering discussion. It was a continuous barrage of complex architectural questions. Because I took brief, natural pauses to mentally structure my answers, the panel falsely assumed I was using AI and rejected me on that basis, without ever addressing their suspicions during the call. When I provided feedback to engineering management, they dismissively suggested I should have "warned" the interviewers that I need time to think. It is a deeply flawed interview culture that penalizes senior professionals for taking a moment to formulate structured, secure technical responses.
