The interview process felt unnecessarily adversarial and high-pressure for a senior engineering role. The technical evaluation focused heavily on live performance under stress rather than creating a collaborative environment to understand engineering experience, systems thinking, or problem-solving approach. I was initially told the interview would be more conversational and focused on background and experience, but the process ended up including trivia-style questioning, an unexpected ERD/system design exercise without proper tooling, and 30 minutes of live coding involving async TypeScript functions under time pressure. While I understand the importance of technical evaluations, I personally found the process more focused on interview performance than on evaluating broader senior engineering qualities such as architecture decisions, collaboration, product thinking, ownership, or real-world delivery experience.

I was interviewed by an employee who was a full-stack developer asking me behavioural type questions. He was not understanding my English and was nodding all the time. He didn't even request to clarify my answers once. Also asking me the salary expectation so that he can pass this on to HR. Sharing salary expectation is confidential but seems like the company does not follow any regulations. As per him, the job requirements were contradicting the job description. I didn't like the overall process and it was a complete waste of time for me. worst hiring policy.
