1. Reached out by third party recruiter, was told that the position was heavily DevOps focused and a contract-to-hire at 6 months. 2. Interview with Hiring Manager - Didn't match role description (from recruiter) at all. He says they want a Software Engineer to focus on writing C++ REST APIs (weird and uncommon case). I was told that they were still interested in doing an on site interview. 3. Interview with DevOps Engineer, Software Engineer, and Systems Architect that lasted nearly 3 hours. They asked about everything but very little about Software Engineering. The interview was all over the place. Asking about DevOps, some programming, and a lot of System Architecture. 4. Recruiter reached out saying that they were not interested anymore. This probably has been one of the worst interviewing experiences that I've had in a while. The flipping back and forth as to what the position was supposed to be was incredible. I had no idea what to expect from the interviews given that and it was impossible to prepare for them. I also clearly told them that I had not used C++ since 2017 from the beginning and that seemed to be their main concern. A pretty disrespectful process. Felt like I was playing dodge ball all the time. Why waste a person's time if you clearly cared mainly about them using C++ recently?

There was two round interview, first round was technical questions, second round asked questions regarding soft skills, both went quite smooth, but only after two months later received the reject reply from HR
