Incredibly long winded. I had an interview with an HR Person, we seemed to get along so I did a technical test (~4 hours), I then had to spend another hour with their architect doing a pair programming exercise and then I was in another call for an hour with two senior devs. I was told, via a recruiter, that they were very impressed with my technical test and that the senior architect really liked me during the pair programming activity. However we then got to the devs for a supposed "culture interview" to see if i was a good fit, in this call they also asked me about my work history. I thought we got along well and I was looking forward to the next stages when the recruiter emailed me to say that, although they liked me they didnt feel I had the experience for a mid level role due to being a BA in my last project (I told them I was currently a dev using their technologies in my current one) and that they wouldnt have the overhead to train me. The whole thing left a very sour taste in my mouth as this should have been established earlier, before I spent my personal time having to complete a technical test and pair programming activity. Especially as they were supposedly "very happy" with the code I had written. There was going to be two more interviews as well with senior staff, I believe one who is running the wedding shop and one who is a key investor. I'm very disappointed as it all seemed to be going very well and a done deal, I'd love to work for them in the future but their interview processes is a bit ridiculous.
