In 2023 I passed 2 technical stages, but I failed at the third last stage, System Design, and I was given a detailed feedback which I appreciated. In 2024 I was approached by the recruiter and was asked to retry the last stage. I did System Design which in my opinion went much better then the first one, but I failed again. This time I didn't get any feedback. I asked 3 times, in 3 separate emails for feedback, which I finally received, but it was vague, lacked any technical details and it seemed to be AI-generated. In 2025 I was asked to repeat the process again by a recruiter, but I'm not going to take part in it because I had negative experience in 2024.

Very stress free. The interviewer was quite nice and even helped debugging the code and etc. The most important thing is being communicative and explain your intentions when developing the code.

From the very beginning, the interaction conveyed the coldness of a traditional bank. During the first interview, I felt uncomfortable. With 15 years of experience in my field, I felt like the interviewer wasn't listening to me. Additionally, it was unclear whether I was speaking with someone from human resources or a technical person, which caused confusion. In particular, I was concerned that the interviewer thought that Spring and Hibernate are part of the Java core, which demonstrates a basic technical misunderstanding. It seemed that the interviewer didn't understand much beyond a few fixed questions. This very aloof attitude was not only disconcerting but also made the interview unproductive and unpleasant. Anyway I appreciate the opportunity you provided.
