The hiring process took around two months and initially went well, with clear communication through the first three stages. However, the final stage was presented as a “greet & meet” with the client but turned out to be another technical interview, which I was not prepared for due to misleading information. Additionally, the role was described as Java, but the client stated it was 100% Kotlin, showing a clear misalignment. After all this time investment, I only received a generic rejection with no constructive feedback. Overall, the process lacked transparency and respect for the candidate’s time.
