First interview with recruiter, second interview with Team Leads. There was a mock call in the second interview. It was pretty straightforward and interview questions are standard, nothing too hard.

I recently had a screening interview with this company, and honestly, it was quite disappointing. I expected a more professional and engaging experience. The interview was done over the phone, and the recruiter had a strong accent while speaking on speakerphone, which made it a bit hard to follow at times. I have nothing against accents at all, but in that situation, a video call would have made the conversation clearer and more personal. She also mentioned that she would be using AI during the interview, which I found a little confusing. I understand that AI is becoming part of the hiring process, but if a recruiter is already conducting the interview, it would make more sense to rely on their own experience and communication skills. Because of the AI involvement, what was supposed to feel like a conversation ended up feeling more like an interrogation. It made me really uncomfortable and hindered my ability to express myself. I’ve had interviews before that were fully run by AI, and that was fine because it was expected from the start. But in this case, since it was an actual recruiter calling, it would have been better to keep it more natural and human. Overall, this was one of the most disappointing interviews I’ve had during my job search in 2025.
