Overall, this was one of the most balanced interview processes I’ve experienced. Even though the role I was being considered for changed during the interview process due to internal adjustments, the process itself remained stable. There were no additional interview rounds introduced, and the structure did not become more complex. The discussions stayed focused and relevant throughout. For me, it also highlighted how important it is to feel comfortable communicating with your future colleagues.

I was contacted via Linkedin by their recruiter and we scheduled "an interview". The interview was opened in Russian language, because she assumed I would speak it because of my name- this was not the case and I already noticed some disappointment. There was no interview as such, just a rather Junior recruiter leading the conversation in somewhat annoying manner, bombarding me with facts & benefits, constantly saying how cool the company is, literally without knowing anything about me- she found me on Linkedin and that is it. At the end of her presentation she asked me if I had any questions. Obviously I had many, most of them she said will be answered in the later phase by a more competent person, and on my question if she wanted to hear more about me she told me to send her my CV after the interview. Don't think I am a kind of person who is afraid or doesn't know which question to ask a recruiter, but this person was literally like a waterfall dictating stuff someone apparently told her to do. I sent my CV immediately after the interview and 2 weeks later received "I am sorry but you're not a fit" automatic e-mail. I responded with a thank you and if she minds elaborating why. Never received an answer.
