I had the “pleasure” of interviewing with Easykind recently, and let’s just say it was an experience I won’t forget.
It all began with a screening call where I clearly mentioned that some of the technologies they were hiring for weren’t part of my recent work and I’d need a quick refresher. Apparently, that was all they needed to hear before moving on.
The HR round was smooth and to the point, so at least that was uneventful.
Then came the technical round. Two interviewers joined, said a quick “hi,” and handed the floor over to me. I provided a detailed introduction, hoping to set a bit of context, but it was quickly ignored. They jumped straight into rapid-fire, tough questions — no effort to ease into a conversation. It felt more like a memory test than an interview. Forget about discussing my experience or problem-solving skills; it was all about recalling specific terms and details as if I was expected to be a walking encyclopedia.
It quickly became clear that the focus was less on understanding my skills and more on the interviewer trying to showcase what he knew — and trying to catch me on things I didn’t. It almost seemed like the goal wasn’t to evaluate my potential but to make sure I failed.
Even after it was clear the interview wasn’t going their way, they extended the session instead of wrapping it up. In the end, I was told I didn’t have enough “knowledge” — fair enough, if memorizing every little thing is what they’re really looking for.
If you thrive on pressure and love technical trivia, you’ll fit right in. But if you expect a more balanced, experience-focused conversation, this might not be the right place for you.
